Implication
May support chaos control for alternans suppression in cardiac models; leaves open clinical translation to human arrhythmias.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Atrioventricular (AV) nodal conduction model
I
Intervention
Chaos control and tracking techniques
O
Outcome
Suppression of alternans by stabilizing the model about its unstable period-1 fixed point
Chaos control and tracking techniques can suppress AV nodal alternans in a cardiac model without requiring knowledge of the underlying system equations, suggesting potential clinical utility.
