Dynamical properties of Beeler-Reuter cardiac cell model with respect to stimulation parameters

Abstract

The Beeler-Reuter model is one of the oldest models of the cardiac ventricular cell. This model is used in many scientific studies that investigate the propagation of the action potential. In this paper, dynamical properties of Beeler-Reuter model with respect to the frequency and amplitude of the stimulus pulse with the shape of the half-sine period are being investigated. For this purpose bifurcation diagrams, the Fourier spectra, and the 0-1 test for chaos was applied.
