Anisotropic tissue mapping with fiber geometry, a case of reentry. Tissue sheet is 10 × 10 mm2 (200 × 200 nodes with a space step of 0.05 mm); a geometry described by Eq. (23) and Fig. 8a is integrated to produce a virtual electrode polarization (Fig. 8b at 96 ms). Reentry is induced as describe in Mazeh23 (Fig. 44). Colorbar shows arrival times in ms (whole run time is about 200 ms), contours correspond to activation times at nodes on the wave fronts; fiber direction is horizontal (except for the D × D region described in Fig. 8a) and the conduction velocity is greater in that direction for the anisotropic tissue. Vectors (black) are conduction velocities for points on the wave fronts.
