The American journal of physiology, Volume 259, Issue 4 Pt 2, 1 1 1990, Pages H1254-63 Quantification of spatial inhomogeneity in conduction and initiation of reentrant atrial arrhythmias. Lammers WJ, Schalij MJ, Kirchhof CJ, Allessie MA
In isolated superfused left atria of the rabbit, inhomogeneity in conduction was quantified using the activation times measured with a high-density mapping system. At each recording site, the maximal difference with neighboring activation times (i.e., phase difference) was calculated. Local phase differences were plotted in a phase map, revealing the spatial distribution of inhomogeneities in conduction, and from each map a total index of inhomogeneity was calculated. During slow pacing (2 Hz) l... Abstract

European heart journal, Volume 10 Suppl E, 1 1 1989, Pages 2-8 Experimental electrophysiology and arrhythmogenicity. Anisotropy and ventricular tachycardia. Allessie MA, Schalij MJ, Kirchhof CJ, Boersma L, Huybers M, Hollen J
In a 2-D model of anisotropy, created by freezing the intramural and endocardial layers of a Langendorf perfused rabbit heart, sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a cycle length of 130 ms and an excitable gap of 30 ms could be initiated by rapid pacing. High resolution mapping (256 points) of the thin surviving epicardial layer revealed that the VT was based on epicardial re-entry without the involvement of a gross anatomic obstacle and a central line of functional conduction block orien...

We calculated the wavelength of the atrial impulse in chronically instrumented conscious dogs by measuring both conduction velocity and refractory period: wavelength = refractory period X conduction velocity. Implantation of multiple stimulating and recording electrodes allowed wavelength determination at four different areas: the right and left parts of Bachmann's bundle and the free walls of the right and left atria. During programmed electrical stimulation, three types of arrhythmias wer... Abstract
