Spiral-wave turbulence and its control in the presence of inhomogeneities in four mathematical models of cardiac tissue.
Regular electrical activation waves in cardiac tissue lead to the rhythmic contraction and expansion of the heart that ensures blood supply to the whole body. Irregularities in the propagation of these activation waves can result in cardiac arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricu...
