Safety factor in simulated 2D cardiac tissue. influence of altered membrane excitability

The safety factor (SF) is an indicator of the safeness of electrical conduction in the myocardium. In the present work, the estimation of the SF based on the formulation proposed by Shaw and Rudy (1997) has been extended to 2D (SF-2D) and evaluated. Furthermore, the effect of the increment of extrac...
