- Title:
-
Zeeman Heartbeat Model
- Description:
- The Zeeman Heartbeat Model uses work in Catastrophe Theory to create a simulation of the heartbeat cycle. The heart is represented as a blue circle in phase space and travels from diastole to systole which are represented as the green circles. Cardiac muscle fiber length (x) is represented on the y-axis and electrochemical activity (b) is represented on the x-axis. The model calculates the heart rate (in beats per minute) and a variable called gamma which is intrinsic to the pacemaker.
