Abstract

Cardiac alternans is a beat-to-beat alternation in the electrical properties of the heart, such as membrane potential and intracellular calcium (Ca) cycling in myocytes. Due to the bi-directional coupling between voltage and calcium, it is not easy to decide which mechanism drives the alternans and thus, affect the effectiveness of controlling alternans. In this study, the control of cardiac alternans in a one-dimensional short cable was investigated numerically using the T± ϵ feedback control, where T is the basic cycle length and ϵ is a pre-set control parameter. The effectiveness of controlling alternans between action potential duration (APD) and peak value of intracellular calcium concentration (peak-[Ca]) being used as the feedback control variables were compared. Results showed that the effectiveness of APD-based and Ca-based feedback controls were the same when ϵ was less than the critical value (ϵc ), however, the APD-based control performed better than the Ca-based feedback control when ϵ> ϵc. This study may improve the understanding of which method is a better feedback control and lead to the development of a better alternans control scheme.
