The missing link between cardiovascular rhythm control and myocardial cell modeling

Olaf Dössel
Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmia is currently investigated from two different points of view. One considers ECG biosignal analysis and investigates heart rate variability, baroreflex control, heart rate turbulence, alternans phenomena, etc. The other involves building computer models of the heart based on ion channels, bidomain models and forward calculations to finally reach ECG and body surface potential maps. Both approaches aim to support the cardiologist in better understanding of arrhythmia, improving diagnosis and reliable risk stratification, and optimizing therapy. This article summarizes recent results and aims to trigger new research to bridge the different views.
