We modified the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of an excitable medium so that it describes adequately the dymanics of pulse propagation in the canine myocardium. The modified model is simple enough to be used for intensive 3-dimensional (3D) computations of the whole heart. It simulates the pulse shape and the restitution property of the canine myocardium with good precision.
