Figure 2

Wave distortions and spiral waves, around a fibroblast clump, caused by high-frequency pacing (PP stimulation protocol). Pseudocolour plots of \({{\rm{V}}}_{{\rm{m}}}\) showing the formation of wave distortions, because of high-frequency pacing and with the protocol PP (see text), at a fibroblast clump; in this figure we use the illustrative parameters \({p}_{f}\mathrm{=30}\)% and radius R = 1 cm. Note that WD occurs first at the periphery of the fibroblast clump at time t = 15.18 s; eventually this WD evolves into spiral waves at t = 17.38 s.
