A comparison of monodomain and bidomain reaction-diffusion models for action potential propagation in the human heart

Abstract

A bidomain reaction-diffusion model of the human heart was developed, and potentials resulting from normal depo-larization and repolarization were compared with results from a compatible monodomain model. Comparisons were made for an empty isolated heart and for a heart with fluid-filled ventricles. Both sinus rhythm and ectopic activation were simulated. The bidomain model took 2 days on 32 processors to simulate a complete cardiac cycle. Differences between monodomain and bidomain results were extremely small, even for the extracel-lular potentials, which in case of the monodomain model were computed with a high-resolution forward model. Propagation of activation was 2 % faster in the bidomain model than in the monodomain model. Electrograms computed with monodomain and bidomain models were visually indistinguishable. We conclude that, in the absence of applied currents, propagating action potentials on the scale of a human heart can be studied with a monodomain model.
