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

Mechanisms of Atrial Arrhythmias Insights from the Development of a Biophysically Detailed Model of the Human Atria / by Michael A. Colman.

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 elec...
