Mechanisms of Atrial Arrhythmias: Insights from the Development of a Biophysically Detailed Model of the Human Atria

by Michael A. Colman

Book Overview

This thesis describes the development of biophysically detailed computer models of the human atria and torso to study the underlying mechanisms of cardiac diseases, some of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. This is a cross-disciplinary project, involving fundamentals of cardiac electrophysiology, physics of excitable media, applied mathematics and high performance scientific computing and visualisation. The author uses computer models...
