Human Purkinje in silico model enables mechanistic investigations into automaticity and pro-arrhythmic abnormalities

Abstract excerpt

Cardiac Purkinje cells (PCs) are implicated in lethal arrhythmias caused by cardiac diseases, mutations, and drug action. However, the pro-arrhythmic mechanisms in PCs are not entirely understood, particularly in humans, as most investigations are conducted in animals. The aims of this study are to present a novel human PCs electrophysiology biophysically-detailed computational model, and to disentangle ionic...
