Summary
The hemodynamics may be represented by a set of ordinary differential equations such as a Van der Pol Oscillator mathematical model. Changing the parameters of the equations, it is possible to reproduce both normal or atypical heart dynamics, such as ventricular and atrial flutter, ventricular and atrial fibrillation, supraventricular extrasystole, Torsade de Point and other abnormal conditions.The importance of mathematical modeling is to study such conditions, to allow predictions of these undesired dynamics, to assist medical doctors or paramedicals in decision-making and technological solutions development involving medical devices or therapies.
