Realistic modeling of human atria During my PhD thesis, I developed a realistic computer model of the human atria. The model includes realistic geometry, taken from a real human heart and orientation of the muscle fibers. The electrophysiology is modeled using the Courtemanche et al. model, one of the most complete descriptions of human atrial electrophysiology. We use the model to study the influence of geometry and fiber orientation and to simulate the effect of changes in atrial electrophysiology related to chronic atrial fibrillation. |
