Algorithm 1 Procedure to find the EAD threshold.
1: Set ion channel conductances in cell model to new values based on drug block.
2: Run cell model to steady state and then save this state to reset to later.
3: Set upper and lower limits α, β for intervention value.
4: Repeat
5: Reset cell model to earlier state.
6: Set intervention to (α + β) ÷ 2 (e.g. multiply ICaL conductance by this factor).
7: Run model for 12 s.
8: Check for early afterdepolarisation (upwards trajectory after initial depolarisation).
9: Adjust α or β using interval bisection.
10: Until |αβ| < 10–4
