About this title

Synopsis

This book on modelling the electrical activity of the heart is an attempt to describe continuum based modelling of cardiac electrical activity from the cell level to the body surface (the forward problem), and back again (the inverse problem). Background anatomy and physiology is covered briefly to provide a suitable context for understanding the detailed modelling that is presented herein. The questions of what is mathematical modelling and why one would want to use mathematical modelling are addressed to give some perspective to the philosophy behind our approach. Our view of mathematical modelling is broad -- it is not simply about obtaining a solution to a set of mathematical equations, but includes some material on aspects such as experimental and clinical validation.

Review

For the first time, the entire scope of continuum-based modelling in electrocardiology has been brought together in one book. Incorporating the inverse problem within this context appears to be unique. The level of presentation is appropriate for graduate students in applied mathematics, computer science, or bioengineering.
