In a normal human life span, the heart beats about 2–3 billion times. Under diseased
conditions, a heart may lose its normal rhythm and degenerate suddenly into much faster …

The beating of the heart is a synchronized contraction of muscle cells (myocytes) that is
triggered by a periodic sequence of electrical waves (action potentials) originating in the …

A normal heartbeat is orchestrated by the stable propagation of an excitation wave that
produces an orderly contraction. In contrast, wave turbulence in the ventricles, clinically …

Modern cardiovascular research has increasingly recognized that heart models and
simulation can help interpret an array of experimental data and dissect important …

We propose a solution to a long-standing problem: how to terminate multiple vortices in the
heart, when the locations of their cores and their critical time windows are unknown. We …

Rotating spiral waves in cardiac tissue are implicated in life threatening cardiac arrhythmias.
Experimental and theoretical evidences suggest the inhomogeneities in cardiac tissue play …

Scroll waves have been found in a variety of three-dimensional excitable media, including
physical, chemical, and biological origins. Scroll waves in cardiac tissue are of particular …

Scroll waves are vortices that occur in three-dimensional excitable media. Scroll waves have
been observed in a variety of systems including cardiac tissue, where they are associated …

In experiments with the photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction (PBZR) we found a
stable three-dimensional organizing center that periodically emits trigger waves of chemical …

We study the drift of spiral waves in a simple model of heterogeneous excitable medium,
having gradients in the distribution of ion-channel expression or cellular coupling. We report …
