Arrhythmia curve interpretation using a dynamic system model of the myocardial pacemaker.

Abstract:

:A problem of identifying the phase response curve of the myocardial pacemaker was investigated using a simple dynamic system model of cardiac arrhythmia. A hybrid optimization method of a genetic algorithm and a local optimization technique was employed to obtain a solution of the model fitting. The method was applied to two categories of arrhythmias, ventricular parasystole and high-degree AV block. The present study offered a new insight into the mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias.

  • A compartmental model for simulation of IGF-I kinetics and metabolism.

    abstract::A compartmental model for the simulation of in-vivo insulin-like growth factor one (IGF-I) kinetics and metabolism is presented. The model is based on the concept that IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) act as a reservoir for IGF-I in plasma, thereby restricting its access to the extravascular space. The model is divided i...
