Claim 13:
14. A method performed by one or more computing systems for simulating electrical activity of a reentrant circuit of a heart, the method comprising:
generating a plurality of sets of simulation parameters that each specify areas of normal tissue, scar tissue, and border zone tissue; and
for each set of simulation parameters,
simulating electrical activity of a heart having areas of scar tissue and border zone tissue as specified by the set of simulation parameters; and
when a simulated arrhythmia has stabilized,
generating a simulated cardiogram based on the simulated electrical activity during a simulated cardiac cycle;
analyzing the simulated electrical activity to identify a loop near scar tissue based on flow of simulated action potential that loops back to itself during the simulated cardiac cycle;
identifying an entrance site of the loop based on simulated conduction velocity;
identifying an exit site of the loop based on the simulated cardiogram; and
storing a mapping of one or more of the simulation parameters to one or more of the identified entrance site, the identified loop, and the identified exit site.
