Why the study?
Does the papillary muscle act as an anchoring site to maintain reentry during ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in isolated swine right ventricles?
Does the papillary muscle act as an anchoring site to maintain reentry during ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in isolated swine right ventricles?
The papillary muscle acts as a critical anchoring site for spiral waves, stabilizing conduction and maintaining reentry during ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Papillary muscle anchoring sustains reentry in swine VT model; leaves open relevance for human ablation strategies.
