Spatiotemporally controlled cardiac conduction block using high-frequency electrical stimulation.

BACKGROUND: Methods for the electrical inhibition of cardiac excitation have long been sought to control excitability and conduction, but to date remain largely impractical. High-amplitude alternating current (AC) stimulation has been known to extend cardiac action potentials (APs), and has been rec...
