Chaos for cardiac arrhythmias through a one-dimensional modulation equation for alternans
(2010)Instabilities in cardiac dynamics have been widely investigated in recent years. One facet of this work has studied chaotic behavior, especially possible correlations with fatal arrhythmias. Previously chaotic behavior was ... -
Computer Model of Mechanisms Underlying Dynamic Electrocardiographic T-wave Changes
(2011)Sudden death from arrhythmia is a major cause of mortality in the United States. Unfortunately, no current diagnostic test can accurately predict risk for sudden arrhythmic death. Because ventricular arrhythmias often result ... -
Spatial Variation of Cardiac Restitution and the Onset of Alternans
(2008-06-19)Instability in the propagation of nonlinear electro-chemical waves in the heart is responsible for life-threatening disease. This thesis describes an investigation of the effects of boundaries on cardiac wave propagation ...
