Abstract
We modified the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of an excitable medium so that i t describes adequately the dymanics of pulse propagation in the canine myocardium. The modified model is simple enough to be used for intens ive 3-dimensional (3D) computations of the whole heart. It simulates t he pulse shape and the restitution property of the canine myocardium w ith good precision.
