Characterizing Spatial Dynamics of Bifurcation to Alternans in Isolated Whole Rabbit Hearts Based on Alternate Pacing
Figure 5
Spatial correlation of the local onset of SS alternans with bifurcation characteristics. (a) 2D bifurcation map calculated at BCLprior (see Figure 3(c)). (b) 2D SS alternans map calculated at BCLstart (see Figure 2(a)). (c) Correlation between bifurcation and SS alternans maps. Average % of smooth, border-collision, and undetermined bifurcations from all experiments are shown for (d) BCLprior and (e) BCLfar. indicates .
