Mechano-electric interactions in heterogeneous myocardium: development of fundamental experimental and theoretical models.
The heart is structurally and functionally a highly non-homogenous organ, yet its main function as a pump can only be achieved by the co-ordinated contraction of millions of ventricular cells. This apparent contradiction gives rise to the hypothesis that 'well-organised' inhomogeneity may...
