Abstract

Three-dimensional organization of electrical turbulence that is induced via the phenomenon of spiral breakup is studied in a computer model of the heart, which includes realistic ventricular geometries and cardiac anisotropy. We find filaments of rotors during the turbulence and study their number and length as a function of the heart size. We perform a dimensional analysis of turbulence.
