Decoupled time-marching schemes in computational cardiac electrophysiology and ECG numerical simulation

Résumé

This work considers the approximation of the cardiac bidomain equations, either isolated or coupled with the torso, via first order semi-implicit time-marching schemes involving a fully decoupled computation of the unknown fields (ionic state, transmembrane potential, extracellular and torso potentials). For the isolated bidomain system, we show that the Gauss-Seidel and Jacobi like splittings do not compromise energy stability; they simply alter the energy norm. Time-step constraints are only due to the semi-implicit treatment of the non-linear reaction terms. Within the framework of the numerical simulation of electrocardiograms (ECG), these bidomain splittings are combined with an explicit Robin-Robin treatment of the heart-torso coupling conditions. We show that the resulting schemes allow a fully decoupled (energy) stable computation of the heart and torso fields, under an additional mild CFL like condition. Numerical simulations, based on anatomical heart and torso geometries, illustrate the stability and accuracy of the proposed schemes.
