| Research Abstract |
In this study, I have developed a mathematical model of a Human atrial myocyte. Since characteristics of atrial myocyte differ among animals, the developed model allows us to evaluate effects of antiarrhythmic drug specifically for human. Although human atrial myocytes are difficult to obtain for experiments, by using the developed model, we can examine effects of virtual drug profiles in human atrial myocytes. The developed model may improve efficiency of drug development.
