Abstract
Periodic stimulation of a nonlinear cardiac oscillatorin vitrogives rise to complex dynamics that is well described by one-dimensional finite difference equations. As stimulation parameters are varied, a large number of different phase locked and chaotic rhythms is observed. Similar rhythms can be observed in the intact human heart when there is interaction between two pacemaker sites. Simplified models are analysed, which show some correspondence to clinical observations.
