A predictive method allowing the use of a single ionic model in numerical cardiac electrophysiology
One of the current debate about simulating the electrical activity in the heart is the following: Using a realistic anatomical setting, realistic geometries, fibres orientations, etc., is it enough to use a simplified 2-variable phenomenological model to reproduce the main characteristics of the cardiac action potential propagation, and in what sense is it sufficient? Using a combination of dimensional and asymptotic analysis, together with the well-known Mitchell − Schaeffer model, it is shown...
