Mechanisms underlying cardiac vulnerability to electric shocks within the three-dimensional volume of the rabbit ventricles

The goal of this study is to investigate the contribution of transmural heterogeneities in action potential duration (APD) to the mechanisms of cardiac vulnerability to electric shocks, in an attempt to better understand the mechanisms behind defibrillation failure. This study used a three-dimension...
