Cardiac Re-entry Dynamics and Self-termination in DT-MRI Based Model of Human Fetal Heart

Cardiac Re-entry Dynamics and Self-termination in DT-MRI Based Model of Human Fetal Heart

The effect of human fetal heart geometry and anisotropy on anatomy induced drift and self-termination of cardiac re-entry is studied here in MRI based 2D slice and 3D whole heart computer simulations. Isotropic and anisotropic models of 20 weeks of gestational age human fetal heart obtained from 100...
