Figure 7

Failure to trigger sustained reentry when AP dome is always maintained. (a) Sequence of snapshots taken from the \(10 \times 10\) cm tissue model. The value of \(d_w^0\) was 0.6, whereas the radius of the BrS region was 3.5 cm. Percentage of fibrotic tissue was set to \(35\%\). Sustained reentry was not induced. (b) Membrane potential in the BrS region recorded in the point indicated by a black dot in the snapshots. The presence of the dome in the AP prevents orthodromic reentry. Red dashed lines indicate the time instants at which snapshots were taken.
