review text: Wave propagation in an inhomogeneous excitable medium is modeled by a two-dimensional, multi-state cellular automaton with absorbing boundary conditions. The inhomogeneity of the medium affects the normal pattern of wave propagation and various phenomena like delayed propagation and circular wave formation are observed. The different types of wave propagation observed in our computer simulations are summarized in a phase diagram and the predictions of the stochastic models for two of the wave propagation phenomena are presented. This system has been suggested as a simple model of the atrioventricular (AV) node.
