<title>Model Structure</title>

<para>
Computational modelling in molecular cardiology has recently focused on simulating subsets of myocardial excitation-contraction processes.  As people try to improve their understanding of myocardial function, there is an increasing interest in excitation-contraction coupling and mechanical events in cardiac muscle.  It is hoped that these computer simulations will also help explain the pathophysiological mechanisms of heart failure.

<para>
In their 2001 paper, Mlcek, Neumann, Kittnar and Novak concentrate on the molecular level of electromechanical events in cardiac muscle.  They introduce an actomyosin subsystem accompanied by a simple regulatory subsystem involving calcium binding to troponin C (see <xref linkend="fig_reaction_diagram"/> below).  They performed many simulations to prove the stability of their model and they then used the simulation results to help interpret experimental and clinical data.

    <rdf:value>The new version of this model has been re-coded to remove the reaction element and replace it with a simple MathML description of the model reaction kinetics.  This is thought to be truer to the original publication, and information regarding the enzyme kinetics etc will later be added to the metadata through use of an ontology.&#13;
&#13;
The model does not run in the PCEnv simulator because it is underconstrained.  I have contacted the authors of the original publication and I have requested the parameter values.</rdf:value>

    <rdf:value>Below is a CellML description of Mlcek et al's mathematical model of &#13;
          the elctromechanical heart contractile system.&#13;
          &#13;
          Rate constants for the reactions were not specified in the original &#13;
          paper, therefore in the CellML description they have been set at a &#13;
          default value of 1.0.  Similarly, initial concentrations were not &#13;
          defined so these have been set at a default value of 1 micromolar.</rdf:value>
