Can a single low-intensity premature stimulus induce ventricular arrhythmias in the normal heart?

Can a single low-intensity premature stimulus induce ventricular arrhythmias in the normal heart?

Previously, we observed that a single low-intensity premature ventricular stimulation could occasionally induce spontaneous ectopic beats in normal rat hearts. Possible hypothesis for the arrhythmia is that a premature beat can encounter a zone of conduction block to initiate reentry. However, enhan...
