Structural heterogeneity modulates effective refractory period: a mechanism of focal arrhythmia initiation.
Reductions in electrotonic loading around regions of structural and electrophysiological heterogeneity may facilitate capture of focal triggered activity, initiating reentrant arrhythmias. How electrotonic loading, refractoriness and capture of focal ectopics depend upon the intricate nature of phys...
