This review article gives a comprehensive survey of the progress made in computational
modeling of the human atria during the last 10 years. Modeling the anatomy has emerged …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans. The mechanisms
that govern AF initiation and persistence are highly complex, of dynamic nature, and involve …

The loss of cardiac pump function accounts for a significant increase in both mortality and
morbidity in Western society, where there is currently a one in four lifetime risk, and costs …

Atrial fibrillation, a common cardiac arrhythmia, often progresses unfavourably: in patients
with long-term atrial fibrillation, fibrillatory episodes are typically of increased duration and …

Multiscale cardiac modeling has made great advances over the last decade. Highly detailed
atrial models were created and used for the investigation of initiation and perpetuation of …

Over the last decade, the state‐of‐the‐art in cardiac computational modelling has
progressed rapidly. The electrophysiological function of the heart can now be simulated with …

High-order cubic Hermite finite elements have been valuable in modeling cardiac geometry,
fiber orientations, biomechanics, and electrophysiology, but their use in solving three …

The last four decades have produced a number of significant advances in the developments
of computer models to simulate and investigate the electrical activity of cardiac tissue. The …

Atrial arrhythmias, such as atrial flutter or fibrillation, are frequent indications for catheter
ablation. Recorded intracardiac electrograms (EGMs) are, however, mostly evaluated …

This paper reviews the simulations of catheter ablation in computer models of the atria, from
the first attempts to the most recent anatomical models. It describes how postulated …
