Source code first version Human Ventricular Cell model

The source code below corresponds with the model described in the following article:

A model for human ventricular tissue

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2004, 286: H1573-H1589 (Epub 2003 Dec 4)

The source code consists of the following files:

Main.cc: contains the main time loop

Header.h: contains some function definitions

Variables.h: definition of object containing all state variables

Variables.cc: creation of object, writing of state backups

Step.cc: computes a single time step

And can be found here: source code together with an example makefile.

The source code simulates the behaviour of a single human ventricular myocyte. The status of the cell can be switched from an epicardial to an endocardial or mid-myocardial cell type. The stimulation protocol applied to the cell can be switched from a dynamic restitution protocol to a S1S2 restitution protocol.

For a description of how the program works please see the comments in the Main.cc file.
