Background The relation between heterogeneously coupled myocardium and fractionated electrograms is incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to use a detailed computer model of nonuniformly anisotropic myocardium to test the hypothesis that spatial variation of morphology of electrograms recorded simultaneously from multiple sites increases with increasing heterogeneity of intercellular coupling.Methods and Results A sheet of elements with Beeler-Reuter ionic kinetics was coupled with cytoplasmic resistivity to model cells. Gap junctional resistance values were assigned by recursive randomization to produce a fractal pattern of heterogeneous coupling, simulating damage resulting from infarction. The correlation dimension of the pattern, D, measured heterogeneity of intercellular coupling. The peak-to-peak amplitude, duration, minimum derivative (steepest downslope), number of inflections, frequency of peak power, and bandwidth of unfiltered unipolar electrograms were calculated. Linear regressions indicate (P
