Abstract
The annihilation of cardiac alternans is believed to be the first preventive action to halt the onset of ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. In this series of simulation studies, by means of boundary and spatially-distributed control, the alternans annihilation in a ID cable of cardiac cells is realized. The boundary control input is… (More)
