DESCRIPTION:Cardiac tissue displays a bifurcation in electrical response a
 t rapid pacing rates. Traditionally\, this bifurcation has been explained 
 in terms of the slope of the restitution curve\, a function that relates t
 he response duration to the duration of the interval preceding it. However
 \, we have recently observed that this curve is not a single-valued functi
 on under a wide range of physiological conditions. We will show examples o
 f this restitution curve splitting and discuss the implications.
