The bidomain equations are widely used for the simulation of electrical activity in cardiac
tissue. They are especially important for accurately modeling extracellular stimulation, as …

▪ Abstract Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the major immediate cause of sudden cardiac death.
Traditionally, VF has been defined as turbulent cardiac electrical activity, which implies a …

This book covers the main mathematical and numerical models in computational
electrocardiology, ranging from microscopic membrane models of cardiac ionic channels to …

The heart is a fantastic machine; during a normal lifetime it beats about 2.5 billion times and
pumps 200.000 tons of blood through an enormous system of vessels extending 160.000 …

A bidomain reaction-diffusion model of the human heart was developed, and potentials
resulting from normal depolarization and repolarization were compared with results from a …

A new computational method was developed for modeling the effects of the geometric
complexity, nonuniform muscle fiber orientation, and material inhomogeneity of the …

Clinical Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization Therapy, 4th Edition, by Drs.
Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, Bruce L. Wilkoff, G. Neal Kay, and Chu-Pak Lau, helps you deliver …

Impulse propagation in biological tissues is known to be modulated by structural
heterogeneity. In cardiac muscle, improved understanding on how this heterogeneity …

C60, vitamin E, and three C60 derivatives (polar 1 and water-soluble C3/D3C60s) were
examined for their antioxidant effects on prevention of lipid peroxidation induced by …

A two-dimensional sheet of anisotropic cardiac tissue is represented with the bidomain
model, and the finite element method is used to solve the bidomain equations. When the …
