| Abstract | The excitation threshold of isolated cardiac cells has been shown to be sensitive to the direction of applied electric field. To further explore this relationship, the authors developed a realistic two-dimensional finite element model of a cardiac cell. The model was used to determine the spatial distributions of transmembrane voltages produced by a uniform electric field applied across the cell. With a 5 V/cm field applied parallel to the cell axis, the maximum absolute transmembrane voltages measured at either end of the cell were 39.1 mV and 46.5 mV (signs depend on polarity of applied field), while 40.5 mV and 44.8 mV with the field perpendicular to the cell axis. More significantly however, the authors found that these highest potentials were concentrated at distinct sites on the membrane. Thus, the authors hypothesize that the depolarization of a cell due to the defibrillation shock initiates at one of these "hot spots" whose exact location depends on the direction and polarity of the field, and shape of the cell. The authors' computational results are in good agreement with experimental results suggesting that a nonuniform cell shape does have an important bearing on the subsequent excitation thresholds of that cell.< |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
