T-wave Alternans and Arrhythmogenesis in Cardiac Diseases
T-wave alternans, a manifestation of repolarization alternans at the cellular level, is associated with lethal cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. At the cellular level, several mechanisms can produce repolarization alternans, including: 1) electrical restitution resulting from collective...
