                 recovery in three-dimensional myocardial domains are
                 presented. The simulations are based on the anisotropic
                 Bidomain and Monodomain models, including intramural
                 fiber rotation and orthotropic or axisymmetric
                 anisotropy of the intra- and extra-cellular
                 conductivity tensors. The Bidomain model consist of a
                 system of two reaction-diffusion equations, while the
                 Monodomain model consists of one reaction-diffusion
                 equation. Both models are coupled with the phase I
                 Luo-Rudy membrane model describing the ionic currents.
                 Simulations of excitation and repolarization sequences
                 on myocardial slabs of different sizes show how the
                 distribution of the action potential durations (APD) is
                 influenced by both the anisotropic electrical
                 conduction and the fiber rotation. This influence
                 occurs in spite of the homogeneous intrinsic properties
                 of the cell membrane. The APD dispersion patterns are
                 closely correlated to the anisotropic curvature of the
                 excitation wavefront.",
