Effects of gto on spiral-wave meandering patterns.
(a) Tip-trajectory evolution for different gto values during 220 ms. (a.I)
gto = 0.0050 mS is the value for the standard guinea-pig
ventricle model, (a.II) gto
= 0.0 mS -
Ito
is blocked, (a.III) gto= 0.0025 mS - half the standard value,
(a.IV) gto = 0.01mS - double the standard value. Action potential configurations with different
gto
values are shown superimposed for single (b) and repetitive stimulation (c). The inset plots in (b)
and (c) are magnifications of the corresponding parts of the main plot. The
gto
values are given in
the legend (tin s, Vin mV).
