Abstract
We believe that there are persuasive arguments for investigating the application of qualitative modelling techniques within medicine1. Although the work reported here is concerned with the specific domain of cardiac electrophysiology, we expect that some of the techniques will be more widely applicable both within medicine and elsewhere.
