Supernormal Conduction and Suppression of Spatial Discord in Alternans of Cardiac Action Potentials

Supernormal Conduction and Suppression of Spatial Discord in Alternans of Cardiac Action Potentials

Spatially discordant alternans (DA) of action potential durations (APD) is thought to be more pro-arrhythmic than concordant alternans. Super normal conduction (SNC) has been reported to suppress formation of DA. An increase in conduction velocity (CV) as activation rate increases, i.e. a negative C...
