title: A model of atrioventricular nodal conduction.
abstract: A model of cardiac impulse propagation through the atrioventricular node is described. The model is based on a synthesis of various experimentally determined characteristics of atrioventricular nodal conduction. The model can be set up to mimic a particular patient's atrioventricular node, by using data collected during routine electrophysiological studies. It can also be used as a component in a larger model of the cardiac conduction system, to simulate cardiac arrhythmias.
