Spiral wave attachment to millimeter-sized obstacles.
BACKGROUND Functional reentry in the heart takes the form of spiral waves. Drifting spiral waves can become pinned to anatomic obstacles and thus attain stability and persistence. Lidocaine is an antiarrhythmic agent commonly used to treat ventricular tachycardia clinically. We examined the ability of small obstacles to anchor spiral waves and the effect of lidocaine on their attachment. METH...
متن کاملDrift of spiral waves controlled by a polarized electric field.
The drift behavior of spiral waves under the influence of a polarized electric field is investigated in the light that both the polarized electric field and the spiral waves possess rotation symmetry. Numerical simulations of a reaction-diffusion model show that the drift velocity of the spiral tip can be controlled by changing the polarization mode of the polarized electric field and some inte...
متن کاملElectric-field-sustained spiral waves in subexcitable media.
We present numerical evidence that, in the presence of a suitable electric field, an isolated broken plane wave retracting originally in subexcitable media can propagate continuously and eventually evolve into a rotating spiral. Simulations for the FitzHugh-Nagumo, the Barkley, and the Oregonator models are carried out and the same electric-field-sustained spiral phenomena are observed. Semiana...
متن کاملLattice Symmetry-Breaking Perturbations for Spiral Waves
Spiral waves occur in several natural phenomena, including reaction fronts in twodimension excitable media. In this thesis we attempt to characterize the motion of the spiral tip of a rigidly rotating wave and a linearly travelling wave in the context of a lattice perturbation. This system can be reduced to its center manifold, which allows us to describe the system as ordinary differential equ...
متن کاملOn the source of plasma density and electric field perturbations in PMSE and PMWE regions
تشکیل ابرهای مسسفری در فصل تابستان و در ارتفاع ۸۰ تا ۹۰ کیلومتری از سطح زمین در نواحی قطبی دارای اهمیت بسیار زیادی می باشند. ارتباط مستقیم بین افزایش مشاهده این ابرها و پدیده گرم شدن کره زمین از دلایل اصلی اهمیت مطالعه این ناحیه می باشد. طبق تحقیقات انجام شده افزایش گازهای گلخانه ای باعث کاهش دما در این ناحیه از جو می شود. از طرف دیگر افزایش گاز متان و فرایند تجزیه آن توسط نور خورشید نیز باعث ا...
