Abstract:
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.
