Breakthrough waves during ventricular fibrillation depend on the degree of rotational anisotropy and the boundary conditions: a simulation study.

Introduction: The left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) are characterized by specific fiber orientation known as 'rotational anisotropy.' However, it remains unclear whether the LV and RV are different with regard to the effect of rotational anisotropy on the dynamics of scroll waves during v...
