Key result
Unipolar stimulation-induced arrhythmias can be explained by the bidomain model with unequal anisotropy ratios, but none of the examined mechanisms adequately explain cross-field stimulation.

Current models explain unipolar but not cross-field stimulation-induced reentry; leaves open refinement of bidomain theory for arrhythmia mechanisms.
This review identifies a critical gap in theoretical models of cardiac electrophysiology, showing that current mechanisms cannot fully explain how cross-field stimulation induces reentry.
Roth et al. (1998) conducted a review in Cardiac arrhythmias. Electric shocks was evaluated. Unipolar stimulation-induced arrhythmias can be explained by the bidomain model with unequal anisotropy ratios, but none of the examined mechanisms adequately explain cross-field stimulation.
