Numerical analysis of the FitzHugh–Nagumo model in a three-dimensional domain

The FitzHugh–Nagumo mathematical model of heart excitation is considered in the form of the initial boundary value problem for the evolution system of partial differential equations in a three-dimensional domain that corresponds to the actual geometry of the heart and its ventricles. A numerical analysis of excitation caused by a localized source is performed. The possibility of excitation from a source located in the cardiac muscle is discussed. The dependence of the velocity of excitation propagation and the width of its front on the model parameters is studied.
