Simulation of Electrical Impulse Propagation through the Heart during Ventricular Fibrillation (IMAGE)
Caption
This is a simulation of electrical impulse propagation through the heart during ventricular fibrillation. Color represents the transmembrane potential (i.e., the voltage across the cell membrane) on the surface of the heart. Yellow indicates largest potential values while dark red represents resting level. This simulation was performed by Pras Pathmanathan and Richard A. Gray at the US Food and Drug Administration.
