Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Numerical simulations in electrocardiology are often affected by various uncertainties inherited from the lack of precise knowledge regarding input values including those related to the cardiac cell model, domain geometry, and boundary or initial conditions used in the mathematical modeling. Conventional techniques for uncertainty quantification in modeling electrical activities of the heart encounter significant challenges, primarily due to the high computational costs associated with fine temporal and spatial scales. Additionally, the need for numerous model evaluations to quantify ubiquitous uncertainties increases the computational challenges even further.
