Computing in Cardiology is an international scientific conference that has been held annually since 1974. CinC provides a forum for scientists and professionals from the fields of medicine, physics, engineering and computer science to discuss their current research in topics pertaining to computing in clinical cardiology and cardiovascular physiology.
Attendees present and learn about leading-edge work at the interface of clinical practice, engineering, and basic research during three days of plenary, parallel, and poster sessions. The 250+ papers presented every year at CinC meetings are published in Computing in Cardiology, available freely. The meeting of CinC will take place 24-27 September 2017 in Rennes, France.
The paper on “Balance between Sodium and Calcium Currents Underlying Chronic Atrial Fibrillation Termination: An In Silico Inter–subject Variability Study” A. Liberos, A. Bueno-Orovio, M. Rodrigo, U. Ravens, I. Hernandez-Romero, F. Fernandez-Aviles, M.S. Guillem, B. Rodriguez*, A.M. Climent* (*Equal Contribution as senior authors) can be found here.
