Why the study?
Does progressive reduction of tissue mass cause a transition from chaotic ventricular fibrillation to periodic ventricular tachycardia in isolated swine right ventricle?
Does progressive reduction of tissue mass cause a transition from chaotic ventricular fibrillation to periodic ventricular tachycardia in isolated swine right ventricle?
Progressive reduction of tissue mass in isolated swine right ventricle demonstrates that ventricular fibrillation transitions from chaotic to periodic dynamics via a quasiperiodic route.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate implications for VF management in patients; leaves open whether critical mass governs arrhythmia dynamics in human hearts.
Kim et al. (1997) studied this question.
