Beeler-Reuter Model of Ventricular Myocardial Action Potential
نویسنده
چکیده
G.W. Beeler and H. Reuter recognized this need and in 1974 attempted to model arguably the most important organ in the human body, the heart. Their inspiration and methods for their model was drawn from their own prior experiments as well as work done by Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952 to model the action potential of an axon. The HH model provided one of the first mathematical models of a biological system explained in terms of 3 mathematical variables defining ion currents.The Beeler Reuter Model was significantly more complex, and resulted in an 8 variable model.

Parameter estimation in cardiac ionic models.
We examine the problem of parameter estimation in mathematical models of excitable cell cardiac electrical activity using the well-known Beeler-Reuter (1977) ionic equations for the ventricular action potential. The estimation problem can be regarded as equivalent to the accurate reconstruction of ionic current kinetics and amplitudes in an excitable cell model, given only action potential expe...
متن کاملReconstruction of the action potential of ventricular myocardial fibres.
1. A mathematical model of membrane action potentials of mammalian ventricular myocardial fibres is described. The reconstruction model is based as closely as possible on ionic currents which have been measured by the voltage-clamp method.2. Four individual components of ionic current were formulated mathematically in terms of Hodgkin-Huxley type equations. The model incorporates two voltage- a...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Control of Wave Instabilities in Cardiac Tissue
Electrical waves circulating around an obstacle in cardiac tissue are subject to a generic oscillatory instability. In a one-dimensional ring geometry this instability can produce both quasiperiodic and spatiotemporally chaotic oscillations while in a two-dimensional sheet of cardiac tissue it can lead to spiral wave breakup. We present a control scheme to prevent this instability in these two ...
متن کاملCellular uncoupling can unmask dispersion of action potential duration in ventricular myocardium. A computer modeling study.
Although slow conduction is a requirement for the preparation of sustained reentry, it alone is not sufficient for the initiation of reentry. Additionally, unidirectional block and recovery of excitability distal to the site of block must occur. Thus, a comprehensive description of the electrophysiological determinants of reentry must explain both slow conduction and unidirectional block. Altho...
متن کاملVortex dynamics in three-dimensional continuous myocardium with fiber rotation: Filament instability and fibrillation.
Wave propagation in ventricular muscle is rendered highly anisotropic by the intramural rotation of the fiber. This rotational anisotropy is especially important because it can produce a twist of electrical vortices, which measures the rate of rotation (in degree/mm) of activation wavefronts in successive planes perpendicular to a line of phase singularity, or filament. This twist can then sign...
