Abstract

Delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) caused by spontaneous calcium release (SCR) events have been implicated in arrhythmia formation in the border zone (BZ) of infarcted hearts. DADs may inactivate sodium channels forming a substrate for unidirectional conduction block. The role played by infarct anatomy and altered intracellular coupling in facilitating this phenomenon is not well understood.
