Electrotonic Myofibroblast-to-Myocyte Coupling Increases Propensity to Reentrant Arrhythmias in Two-Dimensional Cardiac Monolayers

In pathological conditions such as ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure, differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts may result in myocyte-fibroblast electrical coupling via gap junctions. We hypothesized that myofibroblast proliferation and increased heterocellular coupling significantl...
