*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary: Using optical mapping methods to study voltage and calcium waves in the heart and to develop new anti-arrhythmic treatmentsVoltage and calcium dyes allow visualizing the spatiotemporal electrical activity of the heart both during normal function and arrhythmic states. We will show how experimental data from mammalian hearts along with large scale computer simulations can lead to the understanding of many biophysical mechanism that initiate arrhythmias as well as to design new methods for control and termination of tachycardia and fibrillation.
