Primes¶
- Refractory Period
- In cardiac physiology, the post-contraction refractory period is what makes the heart a pump rather than a fibrillating mass, and its failure — premature re-excitation — is the structural source of arrhythmia.
This sourceEstablishes that the cardiac effective refractory period prevents premature re-excitation and reentry, the structural basis for coordinated contraction rather than fibrillation.
