The number of breakthroughs observed decreased during reentry. A: Breakthroughs over time for different reentry induction protocols with PS. His: CI 165 ms; AP+PS: CI 150 ms; shock strengths: 4.3, 4.7, and 5 V/cm. BP+PS: BCL 130 ms; shock strengths: 3.3, 4, and 4.3 V/cm. B: Breakthroughs over time for simulations with and without the PS. C: Early-stage breakthroughs (0–600 ms) for different PS penetration depths (one-third, as in the rest of this study, compared with full-wall penetration, with endpoints located subepicardially). D: Breakthroughs observed after failed 4 V/cm defibrillation shocks (0–400 ms) with22 and without the PS. Error bars indicate maximum deviation. In all cases except panel C, n = 3.
