Figure 5.
The temporal evolution of the electrical behavior of a 3D continuous model of the human myocardium, stimulated with (± 5 V, ± 5 V) biphasic sinusoidal electrical signal is shown. Planar electrodes were used. For an easier visualization of the variation of Vm along the axis of interest (z axis, measured in voxels) a slice of the cardiac tissue (middle of y axis) is presented. Because of symmetry reasons all the planes intersecting the y axis give the same information. The cardiac behavior at certain moments (A) 1 ms, B) 70 ms, C) 140 ms, D) 435 ms) after the electrical stimulation is reflected.
