CardiacSimu : A Feasible Tool for Electrophysiological Study

Version 0.0.3.1

How to get CardiacSimu

• Current stable release: cardiacsimu-0-03-1-src
• Automated nightly builds: under working
• Configuration files for sinus simulation are here
• Configuration files which deduce a foci driven AF at IVC are here(these configuration files should not be used any more, because the foci driven AF is not repeatable when CV restitution is taking into consideration)
• Configuration files which deduce a foci triggered reentry around tricuspid are here.
• Some additional common files for conducting a simulation are here
• Browse the whole project: bazaar browse
• Check out the whole project into a local working directory
  • make sure bzr is installed in your windows, if not fetch one here.
  • select a directory for the whole project to located.
  • use following command to pull whole project: bzr branch bzr://cardiacsimu.bzr.sourceforge.net/bzrroot/cardiacsimu (read-only) and bzr branch bzr+ssh://yourid@cardiacsimu.bzr.sourceforge.net/bzrroot/cardiacsimu (for developer).

RoadMap

The milestones in grey fonts indicate the fulfilled one. Others in normal fonts indicate the milestones chased to be finish in marked date, while the stroked ones indicate the milestones which are removed in the develop road.

• version 0.01, 10.2010
  • Finish slicer, solver, hrteditor, viewer and verified them in sinus rhythm
  • Use bash scripts to invoke each component to make CardiacSimu applicable
  • Verify the configure file in sinus rhythm
  • Verify the model files in sinus rhythm
  • Finish website
  • Start requirement tracking, bug tracking and support requirement
• version 0.02, 12.2010
  • Add action potential restitution in CardiacSimu
  • Add debug component into solver to deal with abnormal condition in simulation (optional)
  • Verify each component in atrial fibrillation
  • Verify the configure file in atrial fibrillation
  • Verify the model files in atrial fibrillation

  • Verify and compare the result with former simulation

How to get involved with this project

• You can send an email to AlfredWJLu#gmail.com with your personal description (your cv is better) if you want to contribute to the coding, you should also indicate your sourceforge ID in your mail. After you are added to this project as developer, you can make a mirror branch as the developer, hack it, make some commits, and then use bzr push --remember bzr+ssh://yourid@cardiacsimu.bzr.sourceforge.net/bzrroot/cardiacsimu to sync your commits.
• You can donate for this project (we will list your name in alphabetic sequence in the contributor page).
• You can also hand in bug reports, feature requests and support requests to help improve this project. Bug will be fixed after verification, feature will be added to next release if it is necessary, the common question in using cardiacsimu will be added in documents or faq sections.
