Cardiac Defibrillation and the Role of Mechanoelectric Feedback in Postshock Arrhythmogenesis

Ventricular dilatation increases the defibrillation threshold (DFT). In order to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for this increase, the present article investigates changes in the postshock behavior of the myocardium upon stretch. A two-dimensional electro-mechanical model of cardiac tissue inc...
