Arrhythmogenesis research: a perspective from computational electrophysiology viewpoint

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2007:2007:406-9. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2007.4352310.

Abstract

The mechanisms by which arrhythmias are generated in the heart remains a field of intensive research. Recent advances in computational biology and electrophysiology have enabled researchers to use an alternative tool in the study of arrhythmia mechanisms, the multi-scale modeling and simulation of cardiac arrhythmogenesis at the organ level. This article reviews the recent advances and achievements using this approach.
