\n \n \n \nUniversity of Oxford researchers have developed a new computer model that recreates the electrical activity of the ventricles in a human heart. In doing so, they have uncovered and resolved theoretical inconsistencies that have been present in almost all models of the heart from the last 25 years. The new human heart model could enable more basic, translational and clinical research into a range of heart diseases and potentially accelerate the development of new therapies.

\n \n \n \nThis pop-up space for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) supports evidence generation by pooling protocols, tools, guidance, templates, and research standards generated by researchers and networks working on the response to this outbreak. Findings from previous outbreaks, largely obtained during MERS and SARS outbreaks, are also available. We aim to make research faster and easier, and to enable standardised, quality data to be collected and prepared for sharing.
