    <para>
        This CellML version of the model runs in PCEnv, COR and JSim to recreate the results in the published paper.  The units have been checked and are consistent, and we would like to thank Frank Sachse, the original model author, for his advice and assistance in getting the CellML version of this model working.  This particular CellML model represents the fibroblast.

<para>
Fibroblasts are the most abundant cell type present in the heart.  They are arranged in the myocardium, as a three-dimensional network, where they are responsible for the secretion of extracellular matrix proteins, and also play a role in cardiac electrophysiology.  Although fibroblasts themselves are electrically in-excitable, they can contribute to the electrophysiology of neighbouring myocytes through fibroblast-myocyte coupling.  Although the electrical coupling of fibroblasts and myocytes has been demonstrated experimentally both in vivo and in vitro, the precise role of fibroblasts as electrical bridges between myocytes still remains to be defined.

<para>
In the paper described here, Frank Sachse, Alonso Moreno and J. A. Abildskov address this issue by presenting mathematical models of cellular and multi-cellular electrophysiology.  A novel mathematical model of cardiac fibroblasts was developed on the basis of experimental data from whole cell patch clamp and polymerase chain reaction studies.  This model was then applied, together with models of ventricular myocytes (which were based on the <ulink url="http://www.cellml.org/models/pandit_clark_giles_demir_2001_version07">Pandit <emphasis>et al.</emphasis> 2001 model</ulink> of the rat left ventricular myocyte), to determine the electrophysiological effects of heterogeneous electrical coupling of cells.

    <rdf:value>This CellML version of the model runs in PCEnv, COR and JSim to recreate the results in the published paper.  The units have been checked and are consistent, and we would like to thank Frank Sachse, the original model author, for his advice and assistance in getting the CellML version of this model working.  This particular CellML model represents the fibroblast.</rdf:value>
