Global alternans instability and its effect on non-linear wave propagation: dynamical Wenckebach block and self terminating spiral waves

The main mechanism of formation of reentrant cardiac arrhythmias is via formation of waveblocks at heterogeneities of cardiac tissue. We report that heterogeneity and the area of waveblock can extend itself in space and can result formation of new additional sources, or termination of existing sourc...
