Pacing frequency-dependent non-uniformity of Ca2+ transients in the left atria. (a) Representative X-t images of Ca2+ transients in six different myocytes (cell 1–cell 6) in the left atrial appendage during pacing at 1 Hz (left) and 4-Hz (right). (b) Comparison of the wavefronts of Ca2+ transients in (a) shown in expanded time scale. Blue arrowheads on the bottom denote the timing of pacing. (c) Corresponding plot profiles of X-t images, and mean plot profiles of the overall atrial region imaged.
