Validation of cardiac PDE modeling |

|
While Navier-Stokes is beyond doubt a correct set of equations, electrophysiology of wave propagation in cardiac tissue is modeled by a set of phenomenological reaction-diffusion equations. |

The experimental validation of numerical predictions for cardiac tissues and cell cultures is the absolute prerequisite to improvement of existing models. Before simulating 3D heart, one needs to validate a range models, from 3D tissues slices to 1D fibers. | |||
| 3D heart tissue | - | scroll wave dynamics | |
| 2D heart imaging | - | ventricular tachycardia spiral wave, measured | |
| 2D spiral wave | - | measured vs. simulated | |
| 1D PDE cable modeling | - | alternans as a function of pacing period (Purkinje model) | |
| 1D map modeling | - | restitution, alternans | |
