Model A: single stimulus

Improved guinea-pig ventricular cell model incorporating a diadic space, IKr and IKs, and length- and tension-dependent processes.

Model Status

This CellML model is known to run in both COR and OpenCell to recreate the original results. The units have been checked and they are consistent. Note, this version of the model is the 'BASIC' parameterisation of the model, and has a single stimulus.

Model Structure

This CellML model is a description of the Noble 2000 (N2K) guinea pig ventricular cell model. N2K is an updated version of the model published by Noble et al. in 1998, in which the voltage-sensitive L-type Ca2+ current (ICaL) and the Ca2+ dynamics have been refined.

Noble, Carghese, Kohl and Noble's 1998 guinea pig ventricular cell model incorporates a diadic space, IKr and IKs currents, and length and tension dependent processes.
