Simulation of Atrial Fibrosis Using Coupled Myocyte-Fibroblast Cellular and Human Atrial Models

Figure 6

Simulated activation sequences at 3 Hz pacing. First column: normal atria; second column: atria with 10% fibrosis; third column: atria with 70% fibrosis. First two rows: anterior and posterior view of first cardiac cycle. Since the total activation duration is less than 133 ms, time window of the beginning 140 ms was given. Middle two rows: anterior and posterior view of second cardiac cycle. Last two rows: anterior and posterior view of third cardiac cycle. The arrows indicate the direction of the wave propagation. The color bars on the right-hand side indicate the propagation time with the units in milliseconds.
