Project description

Aim of this project is development of a detailed mathematical model of human fibrotic cardiac tissue and its application to study of the role of gap junctions, sodium channels heterogeneities and tissue architecture on the formation of abnormal conduction in the heart. Identification of the mechanisms underlying arrhythmias in fibrotic cardiac tissue.
