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

Figure 5

Comparison of the dynamics of a traveling wave of action potential generated by an initial centered perturbation in the discrete and in the microscopic models. (a) Evolution of the wave in the discrete model for  ms and  ms. (b) Evolution of the wave in the microscopic model for  ms and  ms. (c) Comparison of the time evolution of a single point between the wave in the discrete model and the wave in the microscopic model. The point is marked in the snapshots with a black square.
