Does effective refractory period (ERP) restitution predict spiral wave stability in simulated atrial and ventricular tissue?
Effective refractory period (ERP) restitution, which is easier to measure clinically than action potential duration restitution, is a reliable predictor of spiral wave stability and fibrillation in simulated cardiac tissue.
Xie et al. (2002) studied this question.
