Abstract:In this work, a dynamical model of the heartbeat is studied using nonlinear dynamics and considering the time delays inherent in the system. Two fixed points are associated to sustained oscillations which might be interpreted as the diastole and systole. These parameters are associated with blood flow in human body called arterial pressure and are very important in the cardio-vascular diagnostic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
