This talk will present a computationally efficient method of simulating cardiac electrical propagation using an
adaptive high-order finite element method. The refinement strategy automatically concentrates computational
effort where it is most needed in space on each time-step. We drive the adaptivity using a residual-based error
indicator, and demonstrate using norms of the error that the indicator allows to control it successfully. Our
results using two-dimensional domains of varying complexity demonstrate in that significant improvements in
efficiency are possible over the state-of-the-art, indicating that these methods should be investigated for
implementation in whole-heart scale software.
