Arrhythmias by Dimension

The mathematical study of cardiac arrhythmias can be organized by classifying arrhythmias by their spatial dimension. This paper gives an overview of cardiac arrhythmias from this organizational viewpoint, emphasizing the insights that are gained and the problems that result from identifying the arrhythmias in these terms.
