CARDIOLAB is an interactive computational framework dedicated to teaching and computer-aided diagnosis in cardiology. The framework embodies models that simulate the heart's electrical activity. They constitute the core of a Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) program intended to teach, in a multimedia environment, the concepts underlying rhythmic disorders and cardiac diseases. The framework includes a qualitative model (QM) which is described in this paper. During simulation using QM, dynamic sequences representing impulse formation and conduction processes are produced along with the corresponding qualitative descriptions. The corresponding electrocardiogram (ECG) and ladder diagram are also produced, and thus, both qualitative notions and quantitative facts can be taught via the model. We discuss how qualitative models in particular, and computational models in general can enhance the teaching capability of CAI programs.
CARDIOLAB是一个交互式计算框架，致力于心脏病学的教学和计算机辅助诊断。该框架包含模拟心脏电活动的模型。它们构成了一个计算机辅助教学（CAI）程序的核心，旨在在多媒体环境中教授节律紊乱和心脏病背后的概念。该框架包括一个本文所描述的定性模型（QM）。在使用QM进行模拟时，会生成代表冲动形成和传导过程的动态序列以及相应的定性描述。还会生成相应的心电图（ECG）和梯形图，因此，可以通过该模型教授定性概念和定量事实。我们讨论了定性模型，特别是一般的计算模型如何能够提高CAI程序的教学能力。
