Reentry around non-conducting ventricular scar tissue, which often causes lethal arrhythmias, is typically treated by rapid stimulation from an implantable defibrillator. However, the mechanisms of termination (success and failure) are…
The rhythmic pumping motion of the heart stands as a cornerstone in life, as it circulates blood to the entire human body through a series of carefully timed contractions of the individual chambers. Changes in the size, shape and movement…
