The role of diastolic outward current deactivation kinetics on the induction of spiral waves.

The mechanism of induced reentry in an initially homogeneous repolarization matrix still remains undefined. In the present study we hypothesized that the slow deactivation rate of the delayed outward current (dIo/dt), which occurs during diastole after complete repolarization, can cause activation f...
