The effect of the fiber curvature gradient on break excitation in cardiac tissue.

BACKGROUND: Break excitation has been hypothesized as a mechanism for the initiation of reentry in cardiac tissue. One way break excitation can occur is by virtual electrodes formed due to a curving fiber geometry. In this article, we are concerned with the relationship between the peak gradient of...
