Simulation results of sustained fibrillation for different tissue size models at different temperatures

Tissue model 40°C 37°C 34°C 31°C 29°C
EPI 2.5 × 2.5 cm2 NS NS NS NS NS
EPI 3.2 × 3.2 cm2 NS NS NS NS NS
EPI 6.4 × 6.4 cm2 S S S NS NS
EPI 12.8 × 12.8 cm2 S S S S S
ENDO EPI 2.5 × 2.5 cm2 S NS NS NS NS
ENDO 3.2 × 3.2 cm2 S S NS NS NS
ENDO 6.4 × 6.4 cm2 S S S NS NS

S, sustained fibrillation; NS, non-sustained fibrillation.

A clear transition between sustained and non-sustained fibrillation can be observed, with a slight difference for the EPI and ENDO tissues.
