Abstract :
A model of a thin sheet of myocardium was used to examine the role played by tissue anisotropy in the induction of reentry. We found that figure of eight reentry could be induced in the model using a properly timed premature stimulus, however if the anisotropy ratio was too low (conduction velocity ratios less than 4:1) the reentry was not sustained.
