Background-Ventricular fibrillation (VE) leads to global ischemia of the heart. After 1 to 2 minutes of onset, the VF rate decreases and appears more organized. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of no-flow global ischemia on nonlinear wave dynamics and establish the mechanism of ischemia-induced slowing of the VF rate.Methods and Results-Activation patterns of VF in the Langendorff-perfused rabbit heart were studied with the use of 2 protocols: (1) 15 minutes of no-flow global ischemia followed by reperfusion (n=7) and (2) decreased excitability induced by perfusion with 5 mu mol/L of tetrodotoxin (TTX) followed by washout (n=3). Video imaging (approximate to 7500 pixels per frame; 240 frames per second) with a voltage-sensitive dye, EGG, and signal processing (fast Fourier transform) were used for analysis. The dominant frequency of VF decreased from 13.5+/-1.3 during control to 9.3+/-1.4 Hz at 5 minutes of global ischemia (P
