Figure 6 Electrocardiographic recording from a different experiment showing constant coupling intervals of ventricular premature beats but gradual lengthening of the last two returning sinus cycles before the onset of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Numbers are in ms. The artifacts in the electrocardiographic leads were due to vagal stimulation. The stars refer to beats of focal origin; R refers to reentrant beats.
