  • Abstract
    Action potential propagation in a strand of cardiac fibers was studied using a model developed from potential theory which incorporates both microscopic structural details and realistic membrane dynamics. The conduction velocity and τfoot of the propagating transmembrane action potential were found to vary directly with the density of fibers within the bundle, whereas Vmax varied in the opposite direction.
