Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Ventricular fibrillation is produced by irregular spatio-temporal propagation in heart muscle. We aim to quantify this irregularity using both computer simulations and clinical recordings of ventricular fibrillation, and use measures we obtain to prospectively distinguish between self-terminating and persistent (lethal unless defibrillated) ventricular fibrillation. We expect to be able to classify episodes of fibrillations in terms of different nonlinear wave behaviours of excitable media.
