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...
