                 using monophasic action potentials in dogs. They found
                 that dispersion had to reach a cricial value before
                 reentry, or what they believe to be reentry, could be
                 elicited by a single premature stimulus. The mechanism
                 they suggest has to do with initiating premature
                 activation in quickly recovering tissue, then having it
                 block at a region of slow recvery, then reentering this
                 region later and setting up a rrentrant loop.
