β¦ Synopsis
A discrete computer model simulating the operation of the cardiac impulse transmission apparatus and the electropotential changes of the heart musculature has been developed on a NORD-100 minicomputer. The model is written in NORD-FORTRAN and allows description of practically all basic pathologies of the transmission apparatus. A simulated ECG curve is produced in each case. The current version of the model is especially suited for studies of heart rhythms. Pacemaker descriptions (of most important pacemaker types) have been introduced into the model and the computer computations make it possible to assess the effects of different pacemaker modes under different pathological situations. The principle on which the model is based is described and the paper shows concisely several examples in the form of simulated ECG records.

We investigate the structural and dynamic properties of the NaI/PEO polymer electrolyte systems using molecular dynamics simulation techniques. Our simulations, which are performed as a function of both temperature and salt concentration, emphasise the role of ionic association in these materials. T
## Abstract Proper function of an organized Cardiac Conduction System (CCS) is vital to the survival of metazoans ranging from fly to man. The routine use of nonβinvasive electrocardiogram measures in the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular health has established a trove of reliable CCS func
