Influence of anisotropic conduction properties in the propagation of the cardiac action potential
Open accessAbstract
Anisotropy, the property of being directionally dependent, is ubiquitous in nature. Propagation of the electrical impulse in cardiac tissue is anisotropic, a property that is determined by molecular, cellular, and histological determinants. The properties and spatial arrangement of connexin molecules, the cell size and geometry, and the fiber orientation and arrangement are examples of structural determinants of anisotropy. Anisotropy is not a static property but is subject to dynamic functional regulation, mediated by modulation of gap junctional conductance. Tissue repolarization is also anisotropic. The relevance of anisotropy extends beyond normal propagation and has important implications in pathological states, as a potential substrate for abnormal rhythms and reentry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
