Period 2nd semester
Course Description Basic physiology of the heart: functioning and structure. Modeling cardiac excitation and excitability: The cardiac action potential. Models of cardiac action potential. The contractile behavior of the cardiac myocyte: active and passive elasticity of the cardiac myocyte. The muscle structure of the heart: mathematical models of cardiac anatomy. Modeling propagation in excitable media: Monodomain and bidomain equations. The extracellular potential and the model of the Torso.
