Drift of Scroll Wave Filaments in an Anisotropic Model of the Left Ventricle of the Human Heart

Scroll waves are three-dimensional vortices which occur in excitable media. Their formation in the heart results in the onset of cardiac arrhythmias, and the dynamics of their filaments determine the arrhythmia type. Most studies of filament dynamics were performed in domains with simple geometries...
