Normal Cardiac Excitation: Generation, Propagation and Coupling to Contraction
Workpackage coordinator: Peter Kohl

Subtasks:

  • Mapping of atrial action potential.
    • Status: in progress
    • Tangible Outcome:
      • Validate multi-microelectrode array technique for atrial tissue aimed to assess atrial tissue heterogeneity and obtain an integrated assessment of drug action (mo.12).
  • In silico predictions of drug effect on atrial action potential.
    • Status: in progress
    • Tangible Outcome:
      • Produce in silico predictions of drug actions, for known or new developed candidate drugs aimed to prevent initiation/domestication of AF or promote cardioversion (mo.36).
  • Simulation of HCN - NCX interaction.
    • Status: in progress
  • Model development and validation in the context of experimental data input
    • Status: in progress
    • Tangible Outcome:
      • Validate modelling tools (initially be made available to partners, mo.24), in form of platformindependent code (CellML, FieldML, AantML) (mo.36).
