Uncertainty and variability in models of the cardiac action potential: Can we build trustworthy models? (2015)
Journal Article

Cardiac electrophysiology models have been developed for over 50 years, and now include detailed descriptions of individual ion currents and sub-cellular calcium handling. It is commonly accepted that there are many uncertainties in these systems, wi...
