Art Winfree and the bidomain model of cardiac tissue.
This paper reviews Art Winfree's contributions to the bidomain model of cardiac tissue. Specifically, he first predicted quatrefoil reentry, he showed that an S1 refractory gradient is not required for an S2 stimulus to induce reentry, and his work on spiral wave meandering led to studies on how the path of the tip of a spiral wave is influenced by tissue anisotropy.
