Figure 3. — Mechanically induced ventricular fibrillation (VF). A, Surface ECG showing mechanical stimulation in early T wave, resulting in instantaneous VF (Movie V in the Data Supplement). B, Spatial interrelation of stimulation site and 50% repolarization isochrone (green). C, Comparison with previously published computational 2-dimensional modeling predictions,²⁷ showing mechanically induced premature ventricular excitation (PVE_M; red) arising directly adjacent to inexcitable tissue (yellow), forming a region of functional block (black rectangle) around which sustained reentry occurs.
