Abstract

We demonstrate that meandering as well as regular spiral waves can form in a well-controlled culture layer of rat ventricle cells and that the meandering spiral wave, in particular, can generate an alternant rhythm. These observations are made possible by a newly developed, noninvasive phase contrast macro-optics that is simple but highly effective in visualizing the contractile motion of the populations of cardiac cells.
