Zigzag conduction may promote reentry in infarcted myocardium; leaves open translation to human VT mechanisms and ablation targets.
Slow conduction in chronic infarcted human myocardium is caused by a zigzag course of rapid activation along surviving myocyte bundles separated by collagenous septa, facilitating reentry.
Bakker et al. (1993) studied this question.
