Abstract

We study numerically the dynamics of re-entry in a three-dimensional Fitzhugh-Nagumo-type model of myocardial tissue with rotational anisotropy. We find that rotational anisotropy can induce the breakdown of re-entry from a stable scroll wave into a complicated pattern having a surface electrogram similar to that from ventricular fibrillation.
