A mathematical model of the Purkinje-muscle junctions

Math Biosci Eng. 2011 Oct 1;8(4):915-30. doi: 10.3934/mbe.2011.8.915.

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the construction of a mathematical model of the His-Purkinje tree and the Purkinje-Muscle Junctions (PMJ). A simple numerical scheme is proposed in order to perform some simple numerical experiments.
