Beschreibung:
The vital function of the heart during normal sinus rhythm relies on the spread of regular excitation waves within the cardiac muscle tissue, leading to an orderly contraction and efficient pumping action. These electrical action potential waves are theproduct of a dynamic interplay between complex molecular processes on the cellular level and the global structure of the heart, as well as the spatio-temporal activation patterns themselves. As each excitation wave leaves the tissue in its wake temporarily unexcitable, the available space for excitation spread is not only limited by the 3D geom...
