ABSTRACT
Malignant arrhythmias and ventricular fibrillation are generally accepted as one of the major causes of death in cardiovascular diseases. Based on the H-H equations, the mathematical model of the cardiac cell action potential consists of the ion channels, pumps, exchangers and transporters that are closely connected with intra- and extra-cellular ion concentrations, the channel's conditions, nerve transductors and drugs. It can build the link between cell electrophysiology and clinical pathophysiology. By altering the cellular environments the computer simulating study on this kind of model can help us look into the electrophysiological changes of the cardiac tissue and even the whole heart and investigate the mechanisms of the cardiac arrhythmias as well. The components of the model and its computer simulating study are introduced in the paper.
