EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

This article is a continuation of our previous publication [1] and is devoted to the consideration of spiral waves (reverberators) in the myocardium, the cause of which is either mechanical inhomogeneity of the myocardium or its inhomogeneity in the refractory period. A direct consequence of the chaotic increase in the number of reverberators is tachycardia, possible fibrillation and sudden death. Understanding the processes leading to the multiple formation of spiral waves allows us to conduct a targeted search for drugs and non-drug methods to prevent the occurrence of fibrillations.
