Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter outlines the basic electrophysiological properties of the heart, the nature of cardiac arrhythmias, and the analysis and control of arrhythmias. In addition, to focusing on nonlinear dynamics, the chapter discusses the remarkable advancements made from within the medical community to give dynamicists a better appreciation of the current state of the art in arrhythmia management—its strengths, weaknesses, and areas in which nonlinear dynamics might have the greatest impact. The chapter emphasizes those arrhythmias for which the field of nonlinear dynamics is particularly relevant and describes the advantages and disadvantages of the current clinical methods of suppressing or curing such arrhythmias. It describes some recent advancement in nonlinear dynamical control of temporal arrhythmias that could lead to improved arrhythmia management.
