[Realization of biophysical models for the cardiac electrical activity]
Abstract:
Some principles for the realization of biophysical models of electrical activity of heart ventricles, presented by a double electrical layer along the surface of the electrically active myocardium and the boundary surfaces that divide model compartments with different electrophysiological properties, have been considered. The parameters of the model are the electrophysiological and anatomical characteristics of the heart, such as the geometry of ventricles and the His-Purkinje specialized conductive system, the velocity of depolarization propagation in the myocardium, the ratio of excitation velocities in "Myocardium", "His", and "Purkinje" model elements, the ,shape of transmembrane action potentials on boundary surfaces, the orientation of the own heart anatomical axes relative to the initial coordinate system, and others. The model has been included as a basic unit into a computer modeling system containing databases of simulated and real electrocardiosignals.

Cardiac Action Potential
The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
