Filament Dynamics during Simulated Ventricular Fibrillation in a High-Resolution Rabbit Heart

Figure 2

Two filaments following the S2 stimulus in which two counter-rotating reentrant waves were present, before VF has developed. (a) Anterior, inclined toward apex, view of the computational mesh (translucent so that fine-scale structure such as coronary vessels can be seen), with two filaments shown in gold. (b) Apical view (apex-to-base view). (c) Schematic of the biventricular geometry and approximate location of the filaments.
