A computer model of human atrial arrhythmia (2002)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
The purpose of this thesis is to present an original computer model of electrical propagation in a realistic model of human atria for the study of atrial arrhythmias. In the last years, the ever– increasing computer power has permitted the development of numerical models of cardiac electrical propagation in structures of increasing sizes. Recently, it has become possible to simulate propagations in whole parts of the human heart. However, modeling arrhythmias is still a numerical challenge since the simulation of several seconds of cardiac activity is required. In that case, the finite power of computers imposes trade–offs to limit the complexity of the models. This work demonstrates how models specifically targeted for long–term arrhythmias simulations ...
