SUPPRESSING CHAOS IN CARDIAC MODELS USING OVERDRIVE PACING
Recent findings indicate that ventricular fibrillation can arise from spiral wave chaos. Our objective in this computational study was to investigate wave interactions in excitable media and to explore the feasibility of using overdrive pacing to suppress spiral wave chaos. This work is based on the finding that in excitable media, propagating waves with the highest excitation frequency eventually overtake all other waves.
