Abstract
Computational models have the potential to make a huge impact on our understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac function. The aim of this article is to review tools that have been developed to simulate the electrophysiology of cardiac cells and tissue, and to show how computational models have been used to gain insight into normal and abnormal action potential propagation. Some of the practical problems experienced in the development and application of these models are described, and examples are given.
