ABSTRACT:
A system for simulating the activity of the heart includes a computer controlled heart model for generating and displaying simulated electrogram signals. To accomplish this task, the simulation system includes various hardware components and software designed to realize a heart model and generate electrogram display data. Based on the recognition that groups of cells (tissue groups) of the heart can be selected such that the electrical characteristics of the tissue group, as a whole, resembles the simple electronic characteristics of an individual cell, the model is designed to simulate the electrical activities and interaction of multiple tissue groups. With this approach, each tissue group is associated with a software controlled state machine that changes states in response to stimulation signals from other tissue groups, internal or external sources, or timer expirations.
