Modeling hypothermia induced effects for the heterogeneous ventricular tissue from cellular level to the impact on the ECG.

Hypothermia has a profound impact on the electrophysiological mechanisms of the heart. Experimental investigations provide a better understanding of electrophysiological alterations associated with cooling. However, there is a lack of computer models suitable for simulating the effects of hypothermi...
