This book covers the main mathematical and numerical models in computational electrocardiology, ranging from microscopic membrane models of cardiac ionic channels to macroscopic bidomain, monodomain, eikonal models and cardiac source representations.
"This book aims to present recent mathematical and numerical advances in cardiac electrophysiology, in a comprehensive manner and with a special emphasis on large-scale numerical simulations. ... the presentation is as clear as possible, which makes the book a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in electrophysiology and cardiology, not only for the amount and quality of the material reviewed, but also for the quality of the presentation."
