Comparison of the inverse ratios of the relative edge areas of the various-sized cardiac models with the ratio of the transverse propagation velocities (θtr)

Model Size Ratio of relative edge area to interior area θtr cm/sec Velocity A/Y Area Y/A
A 7 × 7 28/49 = 0.57 4.7 -- --
B 5 × 5 20/25 = 0.80 3.4 1.38 1.40
C 3 × 4 14/12 = 1.17 2.5 1.88 2.05
D 2 × 3 10/6 = 1.67 1.9 2.47 2.93

Orthodromic direction; stim of entire A-chain; values for Rol2 of 200 KΩ.

Y equals value of B, C, or D.

The equation relating these parameters is:
