Abstract

A modification of the classical bidomain formulation is presented that permits the inclusion of periodic junctional resistances in the intracellular space while maintaining a uniform interstitial space. Using spectral methods, a periodic intracellular conductivity is introduced into the bidomain model to permit the investigation of the effect of the discrete structure on overall behavior. Although the model has been developed in one dimension, the extension to two and three dimensions is straightforward. As a result, this model can be used to study the effect of the discrete structure on stimulation and propagation.
