Simulating Photon Scattering Effects in Structurally Detailed Ventricular Models Using a Monte Carlo Approach

Light scattering during optical imaging of electrical activation within the heart is known to significantlydistort the optically-recorded action potential (AP) upstroke, as well as affecting the magnitude of the measured response of ventricular tissue to strong electric shocks. Modelling approaches...
