Abstract

This paper presents a study for the qualitative behavior of the heart under large slow adaptation current condition. Different responses including fixed point, periodic, quasi periodic and ultimately chaotic behaviors are detected and shown. The mathematical model used in detecting bifurcation is a three dimensional model with two embedded nonlinearities of the third and second order types. The bifurcations are detected in the parameter space as the point of the change of system structure stability (splitting of the equilibrium points). The importance of this study is that it helps in forecasting whether or not the heart is liable to heart attack within a pre-determined period.
