Title
Effects of refractory gradients and ablation on fibrillatory activity.
Abstract
•Mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF) are mostly unknown.•Cellular-level models are cumbersome and difficult to interpret.•AF ablation often leads to prolongation of activation interval (AI).•An automaton model was developed to simulate the phenomenon.•Ablation when refractory gradients were present prolonged AI.
