Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial Fibrillation Begets Atrial Fibrillation A Study in Awake Chronically Instrumented Goats
TL;DR: Artificial maintenance of AF leads to a marked shortening of AERP, a reversion of its physiological rate adaptation, and an increase in rate, inducibility and stability of AF.

Journal ArticleDOI
On dynamic equilibrium in the heart
TL;DR: On the accuracy of the spontaneous rhythm of the sinus venosus, the influence of frequency on the electrogram is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of fibrillary contraction of the heart.—its relation to tissue mass and form
TL;DR: It would appear obvious, from a consideration of these facts, that the size of the tissue masses involved in the process may have an important bearing on the induction of and recovery from the fibrillary state, yet these phenomena have never been systematically investigated from this viewpoint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonuniform distribution of vagal effects on the atrial refractory period.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the effects of vagal stimulation are not uniformly distributed and at some points marked effects were observed, while at others little or no effect was apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism and nature of ventricular fibrillation
TL;DR: The available evidence favors the conclusion that, after a single premature systole, the phenomenon is caused by re-entry of circulating wave fronts which involve smaller and smaller blocks of myocardium, each of which develops an independent excitation.
