[Computer modeling of parametric stability of heart rate dynamics during atrial fibrillation]
Abstract:
Parametric stability of heart rate dynamics during atrial fibrillation was estimated in relation to the change in the parameter of the curvature of delay function in the atrioventricular node. The study was conducted by the method of computer modeling. We investigated the dependence of characteristics of stability of heart rate dynamics from the number of independent ectopic sources in the atrium during fibrillation. The results show that the stability of heart rate dynamics decreases as the number of independent ectopic sources in the atrium and the parameter of the curvature of delay function in the atrioventricular node increase.

Mechanism of Cardiac Arrhythmias
Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
Regulation of Heart Rates
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...
