title: The ionic mechanisms of conduction in cardiac tissue.
abstract: Computer simulations are used to characterize conduction of the cardiac action potential under the following conditions: 1. Acute myocardial ischemia, 2. Reduced membrane excitability, 3. Reduced intercellular coupling, and 4. Propagation through inhomogeneous tissue structures.
