  • Abstract
    The frequent appearance of connective tissue sheets separating active cardiac tissues raises the question of their electrophysiological significance, either providing a means of interaction or insulation. The two dimensional bidomain model employed showed interaction significant enough to alter the transmembrane potential of the neighboring tissue but not to activate it
