Simulation of Ectopic Pacemakers in the Heart: Multiple Ectopic Beats Generated by Reentry inside Fibrotic Regions

Figure 16

Reentry in the microscopic model in comparison with the discrete model. Panels (a) ( ms), (b) ( ms), and (c) ( ms), successful reentry propagation (from right to left of the tissue) using the discrete model. Panels (d) ( ms), (e) ( ms), and (f) ( ms), reentry dies out using the microscopic model due to source-sink mismatch.
