Modeling Binding of Antiarrhythmic Drugs and Their Affect on Cardiac Rhythms
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Steffen Docken, UC Davis |

Cardiac electrophysiology can be modeled using systems of ODEs and these models can be expanded to incorporate the effect of anti-arrhythmic drugs. As of right now, these drug models are very complicated and computationally expensive. I will discuss how I plan to simplify these models and subsequently analyze the models to identify what properties cause anti-arrhythmic drugs to be safe or not. My analysis will incorporate both numerical techniques and bifurcation analysis
