A Work Flow to Build and Validate Patient Specific Left Atrium Electrophysiology Models from Catheter Measurements

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a supra-ventricular tachyarrhythmia that is characterised by an uncoordinated activation of the atrial tissue (Skanes et  al. (1998); Konings et al. (1994)), with a consequent deterioration of mechanical function, Reant et al. (2005). AF is associated with an increased incidence of other cardiovascular diseases, stroke and premature death, Chugh et al. (2013). In drug refractory patients, AF is commonly treated by radio-frequency ablation Haïssaguerre et al. (2000); Oral et al.
