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

Figure 9

Curved wall bridge simulations. (a) Representative snapshot. The reentry looks distorted as it is on the steep part of the hemispherical wall, at a large angle to the presented view. (b) Two tip traces from simulations where scroll waves were initiated on either side of the bridge junctions. J1 and J2 indicate junctions of the PM bridge with the atrial wall on the endocardial side of the model.
