Clements et al. (2005) studied Cardiac conduction system modeling. One dimensional cubic Hermite finite elements vs. Linear elements was evaluated on RMS error. One dimensional cubic Hermite finite elements yielded a much smaller RMS error compared to linear elements for modeling the cardiac conduction system.
