This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We have used the epicardial rabbit mesh derived from the NBCR rabbit model to study responses to anti-tachycardia pacing pulses replicating burst pacing schemes from standard devices. The main goal of the present studies is to establish the efficacy of burst pacing with a second ventricular lead. To investigate the role of the Purkinje systems in reentrant rhythms during myocardial ischemia and infarction, the development by NBCR investigators of canine and rabbit ventricular models with Purkinje fibers will be valuable for this goal.
