A, time window of vulnerability measured in the 3D human atria at the CT/PM junction (a) and LA/PV junction (b). The time window for unidirectional conduction block is shown in red and sustained re-entry in blue. Where there is no blue box, sustained re-entry could not be initiated. The width of the window (ms) is labelled by the numbers within or above each box. B, magnitude of F_VWRat each of the two regions is plotted for each condition. Magnitudes are normalised to the value obtained in AF-0 at the CT/PM junction.
