\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.
