Since the first demonstration of ventricular fibrillation induction by electrical stimulation in 1850 by Hoffa and Ludwig, 1 many mechanisms 2, 3 have been identified that initiate the complex dynamics of fibrillation. We report a high-resolution visualization of a spiral wave transitioning into multiple waves in human ventricles by using optical mapping (voltage and calcium) from the posterior epicardial surface (w7! 7 cm2) of an explanted heart from a 38-yearold female transplant recipient.Online Supplemental Video 1 shows the transition from a relatively stable functional spiral wave of the 325-ms period lasting w50 rotations into multiple waves (fibrillation), which lasted w8 seconds (dominant period 250 ms) before selftermination. The video is slowed down during each transition. While it is impossible to identify the mechanism acting without intramural information uniquely, the transition is consistent with the hypothesis of ventricular fibrillation induction by a twisted vortex filament 3, 4 (Figure 1).
