A Computer Simulation Study of Anatomy Induced Drift of Spiral Waves in the Human Atrium

Figure 4

Plots of the scroll tip coordinates (, , and ) with respect to time for selected stationary (left column) and drifting (right column) trajectories. Clockwise spirals are shown in top row while anticlockwise spirals in bottom row. The stationary plots are from trace 0 as shown in Figure 3 in both clockwise (top) and anticlockwise (bottom) cases. The drifting plots are from trace 9 as shown in Figure 3 in both clockwise (top) and anticlockwise (bottom) cases. In the drifting cases, data for the first 8 s is shown after which the SWs became stationary.
