Abstract

Two mathematical models were presented as an arrhythmia generator. One was the so-called modulated parasystole model. The other was a model of the rate-dependent property of atrioventricular nodal conduction represented by the atrioventricular recovery curve (AVRC). Both models were mathematically formulated as a nonlinear first-order difference equation, and implemented on a personal computer (PC) as an arrhythmia simulator. It was utilized for evaluating the diagnostic performance of computerized ECG analyzers.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
