Abstract
This paper discusses about the electromechanical effect of rabbit ventricals and abnormalities caused by asynchronous electrical activation in perfusion and pump function. These applications are of paramount importance to therapies that employ pacing of the heart, and particularly cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
