Regional differences in APD restitution can initiate wavebreak and re-entry in cardiac tissue: A computational study

BACKGROUND: Regional differences in action potential duration (APD) restitution in the heart favour arrhythmias, but the mechanism is not well understood. METHODS: We simulated a 150 × 150 mm 2D sheet of cardiac ventricular tissue using a simplified computational model. We investigated wavebreak and...
