The role of the width of the infarcted area with a fixed length of 25% and a fixed position of 0% in excitation wave propagation in the circular ring tissue. (a) Structural representation and wave conduction tested with two stimuli with S1-S2 intervals of 520 ms in the 2D ring model of infarcted tissue without fibrosis at different times. (b) Structural representation and wave conduction tested with two stimuli with S1-S2 intervals of 520 ms in the 2D ring model of infarcted tissue with 20% fibrosis at different times. (c) Change in the size of the vulnerable windows in the circular ring tissue with and without 20% fibrosis as a function of the width of the infarcted tissue. Black bars: infarcted tissue without fibrosis; Red bars: infarcted tissue with 20% random fibrosis.
