Simulation of QRST Integral Maps With a Membrane-Based Computer Heart Model Employing Parallel Processing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The simulation of the propagation of electrical activity in a membrane-based realistic-geometry computer model of the ventricles of the human heart, using the governing monodomain reaction-diffusion equation, is described. Each model point is represented by the phase 1 Luo-Rudy membrane model, modified to represent human action potentials. A separate longer duration action potential was used for the M cells found in the ventricular midwall. Cardiac fiber rotation across the ventricular wall was implemented via an analytic equation, resulting in a spatially varying anisotropic conductivity tensor and, consequently, anisotropic propagation. Since the model comprises approximately 12.5 million points, parallel processing on a multiprocessor computer was used to cut down on simulation time. The simulation of normal activation as well as that of ectopic beats is described. The hypothesis that in situ electrotonic coupling in the myocardium can diminish the gradients of action-potential duration across the ventricular wall was also verified in the model simulations. Finally, the sensitivity of QRST integral maps to local alterations in action-potential duration was investigated.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
