Model Status

This CellML model is known to run in both COR and PCEnv to recreate the original results. The units have been checked and they are consistent. This particular version of the model has a single stimulus.

Model Structure

This CellML model is a description of the Noble 2000 (N2K) guinea pig ventricular cell model. N2K is an updated version of the model published by Noble et al. in 1998, in which the voltage-sensitive L-type Ca2+ current (ICaL) and the Ca2+ dynamics have been refined. For more information about this model please refer to the description of the original 1998 model in the CellML Model Repository.
