Abstract
This paper begins with a brief review of the different types of computer models of the heart, then touches upon solution methodologies for solving the forward problem of electrocardiography, and finally describes the results obtained with forward problem simulations of the WoIff-Parkinson-White syndrome using a particular example of a computer model of the heart.
