title: Modeling the dynamics of cardiac action potentials.
abstract: The nonlinear dynamics of cardiac action potentials is explained via simple model equations describing the membrane potential and the inward and outward currents through the membrane. The equations approximate ionic models, yet are expressed as polynomial functions, and robustly capture the phase-space dynamics of action potentials.
