Key result
A 3D image-based model of sheep atrial anatomy demonstrated how complex myocyte arrangement in the posterior left atrium contributes to increased vulnerability to rhythm disturbances.
A structurally detailed, image-based 3D model of sheep atrial anatomy provides insights into how myocyte architecture influences normal and abnormal atrial electrical function.

No change to AF management; leaves open translation of sheep posterior LA architecture to human arrhythmia vulnerability.
Zhao et al. (2012) studied Atrial arrhythmia. 3D image-based model of atrial anatomy was evaluated on Characterization of surface geometry and myofiber architecture and effects on atrial activation. A 3D image-based model of sheep atrial anatomy demonstrated how complex myocyte arrangement in the posterior left atrium contributes to increased vulnerability to rhythm disturbances.
