Using delay differential equations to induce alternans in a model of cardiac electrophysiology

Abstract: Cardiac electrical alternans is a period-2 dynamical behavior with alternating long and short action potential durations (APD) that often precedes dangerous arrhythmias associated with cardiac arrest. Despite the importance of alternans, many current ordinary differential equations models of cardiac electrophysiology do not produce alternans, thereby limiting the use of these models for studying the mechanisms that underlie this condition. Because delay differential equations (DDEs) commonly induce complex dyn… Show more

“…Thereby, involving the delay in ordinary equations equations have been a topic of much interest in the mathematical research literature for more than 50 years. Contributions range from classical applications and theoretical and computational methodologies [9] to modern applications in biology [10,15]. A particular interest has been established mathematical models describing the immune response during infectious diseases which are formulated as systems of nonlinear delaydifferential equations (DDEs) characterized by multiple constant delays, moderate size, and stiffness [4,5].…”
