Nonlinear dynamics and cardiac arrhythmia

Autors: 
Loskutov Aleksandr Jurevich, Lomonosov Moscow State University
Abstract: 

A phenomenon appearing sometimes in the cardiac tissue — arrhythmia — caused by two pacemakers is discussed. It is shown that such arrhythmia can be schematically described by a circle map with chaotic dynamics. A simple method allowing one to stabilize chaotic dynamics of this map is proposed. A perturbation threshold below of which the stabilizing behaviour is not destroyed by external noises is determined.
