TL;DR: A novel Laplace–Dirichlet Rule-Based (LDRB) algorithm is presented to perform this task with speed, precision, and high usability and convincingly show that the LDRB algorithm is a robust alternative to DTI for assigning fiber orientation to computational heart models.

TL;DR: This paper describes the latest modeling software that the group has developed, called Carp (Cardiac arrhythmias research package), designed to run in both shared memory and clustered computing environments, and aims to be modular and flexible by following a plug-in framework.

TL;DR: An overview of the bidomain equations and the methods by which they have been solved is given, of particular note are recent developments in multigrid methods, which have proven to be the most efficient.

TL;DR: This study provides the first cardiac tissue electrophysiology simulation benchmark to allow these codes to be verified and was successfully evaluated on 11 simulation platforms to generate a consensus gold-standard converged solution.

TL;DR: Developing a highly detailed finite-element computational model of rabbit ventricles constructed from high-resolution MR data, including the processes of segmentation, identification of relevant anatomical features, mesh generation, and myocyte orientation representation, highlights the utility of histoanatomically detailed models for investigations of cardiac function, in particular for future patient-specific modeling.
