Estimation of Conductivity Tensors from Human Ventricular Optical Mapping Recordings (2013)
Book Chapter

Experimental recordings of transmural activation in the human left ventricle show variability in recorded activation times. In this paper we demonstrate a framework for fitting the conductivity tensor of a monodomain model to reproduce activation tim...

Evaluation of an in silico cardiac safety assay: Using ion channel screening data to predict QT interval changes in the rabbit ventricular wedge (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction Drugs that prolong the QT interval on the electrocardiogram present a major safety concern for pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies. Despite a range of assays performed to assess compound effects on the QT interval, QT prolo...

Variability in high-throughput ion-channel screening data and consequences for cardiac safety assessment (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction: Unwanted drug interactions with ionic currents in the heart can lead to an increased pro-arrhythmic risk to patients in the clinic. It is therefore a priority for safety pharmacology teams to detect block of cardiac ion channels, and ne...

Chaste: An Open Source C++ Library for Computational Physiology and Biology (2013)
Journal Article

Chaste - Cancer, Heart And Soft Tissue Environment - is an open source C++ library for the computational simulation of mathematical models developed for physiology and biology. Code development has been driven by two initial applications: cardiac ele... Read More about Chaste: An Open Source C++ Library for Computational Physiology and Biology.

mRNA Expression Levels in Failing Human Hearts Predict Cellular Electrophysiological Remodeling: A Population-Based Simulation Study (2013)
Journal Article

Differences in mRNA expression levels have been observed in failing versus non-failing human hearts for several membrane channel proteins and accessory subunits. These differences may play a causal role in electrophysiological changes observed in hum...

Computational assessment of drug-induced effects on the electrocardiogram: From ion channel to body surface potentials (2013)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose: Understanding drug effects on the heart is key to safety pharmacology assessment and anti-arrhythmic therapy development. Here our goal is to demonstrate the ability of computational models to simulate the effect of drug actio...
