How Hyperpolarization and the Recovery of Excitability Affect Propagation through a Virtual Anode in the Heart
Researchers have suggested that the fate of a shock-induced wave front at the edge of a “virtual anode” (a region hyperpolarized by the shock) is a key factor determining success or failure during defibrillation of the heart. In this paper, we use a simple one-dimensional computer model to examine p...
