The Noble cardiac ventricular electrophysiology models in CellML

In our article we presented a review of the cardiac ventricular electrophysiology models developed by Prof. Denis Noble and colleagues. The CellML language was used to describe these models and we make available here the CellML models described in this review and the specific simulations performed. The simulations were all performed using the mozCellML extension for mozilla.

The results presented in Fig. 4 are the combination of these simulations, which can be run in mozCellML by clicking on the following links. In each case the parameters in the numerical integration tab of the model viewer window need to be altered: the time interval should be set to 0ms,10000ms; and the maximum step size needs to be 0.01.

0ms,100ms with a grid resolution of 0.1ms and a maximum time step of 0.01ms.
  • Membrane potential response to a current injection. Need to set the final time to 50ms, the step size to 0.1ms and the maximum step size to 0.01ms.
