Background:

Cardiac action potential dynamics depend on complex interactions between transmembrane potential and ionic currents.
Current technologies struggle to simultaneously measure transmembrane potential and multiple ionic currents, limiting comprehensive cardiac myocyte state analysis.
This gap hinders understanding of arrhythmia triggers and myocyte responses to pacing or drug treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a data-assimilation approach for reconstructing and predicting cardiac ventricular myocyte dynamics.
To assess the accuracy of this method in the presence of parameter and observational uncertainty.
To demonstrate its application in experimental data for predicting electrophysiological behavior under varying conditions.

Main Methods:

Generated a heterogeneous virtual cardiac ventricular myocyte population by varying ionic current conductance parameters.
Introduced Gaussian noise to transmembrane potential to simulate observational uncertainty.
Applied a data-assimilation technique to reconstruct transmembrane potential and estimate ionic current conductances.
Validated the approach using ex vivo optical mapping data from guinea pig hearts.

Main Results:

The data-assimilation approach accurately reconstructed transmembrane potential with errors below the noise magnitude.
Ionic current conductances were estimated with high accuracy and low computational cost.
The method successfully predicted action potential dynamics at different pacing rates using parameters estimated from a single rate.

Conclusions:

Data assimilation offers a powerful tool for reconstructing and predicting cardiac myocyte electrophysiological dynamics.
This method overcomes limitations of current experimental techniques, enabling deeper insights into cardiac function.
The approach holds promise for improving our understanding of cardiac arrhythmias and drug effects.
