Reentrant waves and their elimination in a model of mammalian ventricular tissue.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vulnerability to reentrant wave propagation, its characteristics (period, meander, and stability), the effects of rotational transmural anisotropy, and the control of reentrant waves by small amplitude perturbations and large amplitude defibrillating shocks are investigated theoretically and numerically for models based on high order, stiff biophysically derived excitation equations.

Reentrant waves in a ring of embryonic chick ventricular cells imaged with a Ca2+ sensitive dye.
According to the classic model initially formulated by Mines, reentrant cardiac arrhythmias may be associated with waves circulating in a ring geometry. This study was designed to study the dynamics of reentry in a ring geometry of cardiac tissue culture. Reentrant calcium waves in rings of cultured embryonic chick cardiac myocytes were imaged using a macroscope to monitor the fluorescence of i...
متن کاملReentry in an Anatomical Model of the Human Ventricles
We study wave propagation in a recently developed model, which reproduces geometry and fiber orientation in the right and left ventricles of the human heart. The cardiac tissue is represented using the previously developed γ-ionic model for human ventricular tissue using a spatial resolution of 0.5mm. We simulate three dimensional reentrant behavior resulting from a single vortex located in the...
متن کاملTerminating ventricular tachycardia by pacing induced dynamical inhomogeneities in the reentry circuit
Formation of feedback loops of excitation waves (reentrant circuit) around nonconducting ventricular scar tissue is a common cause of lethal cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia. This is typically treated by rapid stimulation from an implantable device (ICD). However, the mechanisms of reentry termination success and, more importantly, failure, are poorly understood. To study su...
متن کاملA novel isolated dual perfusion/superfusion heart model for physiological and pharmacological evaluation of mammalian heart preparations
Abstract Introduction: Isolated perfused heart models such as perfusion and superfusion are commonly used for mammalian heart research. However, there are several fundamental limitations in the current techniques. In perfusion model, a suitable cannula is connected to the aorta and the perfusion is retrogradely performed. But, electrode displacement is a potential unwanted event resulted fr...
متن کاملStructural characterization of rat ventricular tissue exposed to the smoke of two types of waterpipe
Objective(s):this study focused on the effect of waterpipe smoke exposure toxicity on the structure of albino rat’s ventricular tissue and their recovery. Materials and Methods: Albino rats were divided into three groups: control, flavored, and unflavored. The control group was exposed to normal air while the flavored and unflavored groups were exposed to waterpipe smoke for a period of 90 days...
