Reversal of repolarization gradient does not reverse the chirality of shock-induced reentry in the rabbit heart.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:In isolated rabbit hearts, repetitive endocardial focal discharges (REFDs) were consistently observed during ventricular fibrillation (VF) with prolonged (>5 minutes) global ischemia (GI). We hypothesized that BAPTA-AM, a calcium chelator, can suppress these REFDs. METHODS AND RESULTS:Using a two-camera o...
