Why Computational Modelling?
Plunge electrodes

Low spatial resolutionDuring shocks - saturated
Optical mapping

Experimental techniques Limitations
Computer Simulations in Cardiac Electrophysiology • 3D activity in the whole ventricular volume
• High spatio-temporal resolution• 3Rs: reduce, refine, replace animal experiments

•Small number of channels ion channel stochastic behaviour manifests itself at macroscopic ionic current level {Krogh-Madsen, 2004}.
