Our research group have been conducting simulation studies for analyzing arrhythmia such as sick sinus syndrome, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation using multi-scale heart models with personal computer and supercomputer. One purpose of our simulation studies is to stratify the arrhythmic risk non-invasively using computer simulation. Recent study has shown that conduction delay around the right ventricular outflow tract is one of the mechanisms to induce ventricular arrhythmias such as Brugada syndrome. Our findings from computer simulation suggest that our model may be useful to stratify the arrhythmic risk in the Brugada syndrome. In this symposium, we will present our simulation scheme and recent progresses. In addition, we would like to discuss our future prospect and the possibility of computer simulation.
