Abstract excerpt
The understanding of cardiac arrhythmia under genetic mutations has grown in interest among researchers. Previous studies focused on the effect of the D172N mutation on electrophysiological behavior. In this study, we analyzed not only the electrophysiological activity but also the mechanical responses during normal sinus rhythm and reentry conditions by using computational modeling. We simulated four different...
