An Integrated Finite Element Simulation of Cardiomyocyte Function Based on Triphasic Theory

In numerical simulations of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, the intracellular potential distribution and mobility of cytosol and ions have been mostly ignored. Although the intracellular potential gradient is small, during depolarization it can be a significant driving force for ion movemen...
