Entrainment of randomly coupled oscillator networks by a pacemaker [PDF]
, 2004Entrainment by a pacemaker, representing an element with a higher frequency, is numerically investigated for several classes of random networks which consist of identical phase oscillators. We find that the entrainment frequency window of a network decreases exponentially with its depth, defined as the mean forward distance of the elements from the ...

Delay-induced multiple stochastic resonances on scale-free neuronal networks [PDF]
Chaos 19 (2009) 023112, 2009We study the effects of periodic subthreshold pacemaker activity and time-delayed coupling on stochastic resonance over scale-free neuronal networks. As the two extreme options, we introduce the pacemaker respectively to the neuron with the highest degree and to one of the neurons with the lowest degree within the network, but we also consider the case

Self-organized stable pacemakers near the onset of birhythmicity [PDF]
, 2000General amplitude equations for reaction-diffusion systems near to the soft onset of birhythmicity described by a supercritical pitchfork-Hopf bifurcation are derived. Using these equations and applying singular perturbation theory, we show that stable autonomous pacemakers represent a generic kind of spatiotemporal patterns in such systems.

Early Pacemaker Dependency After Heart Transplantation Is Associated with Permanent Pacemaker Implantation, Graft Failure and Mortality [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and DiseaseAims: Patients after heart transplantation (HTX) often experience post-transplant bradycardia, but little is known about the outcomes of early pacemaker dependency after HTX.

Reentrant transition in coupled noisy oscillators [PDF]
Physical Review E 91, 012901 (2015), 2015We report on a novel type of instability observed in a noisy oscillator unidirectionally coupled to a pacemaker. Using a phase oscillator model, we find that, as the coupling strength is increased, the noisy oscillator lags behind the pacemaker more frequently and the phase slip rate increases, which may not be observed in averaged phase models such as

Genetically engineered cardiac pacemaker: stem cells transfected with HCN2 gene and myocytes - a model [PDF]
arXiv, 2005Artificial biological pacemakers were developed and tested in canine ventricles. Next steps will require obtaining oscillations sensitive to external regulations, and robust with respect to long term drifts of expression levels of pacemaker currents and gap junctions. We introduce mathematical models intended to be used in parallel with the experiments.

Concealed malfunction of the temporary pacemaker [PDF]
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2006The 12-lead ECG shows sequential atrial and ventricular pacing (Figure 1A). A tracing, obtained simultaneously during pacemaker interrogation, disclosed pacemaker functioning as VDD mode (Figure 1B).

Diagnostic value of implantable loop recorders in patients with unexplained syncope or palpitations
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2021Background The implantable loop recorder (ILR) is a small cardiac rhythm‐monitoring device. Our aim was to determine ILR diagnostic value in patients with unexplained syncope, presyncope, or palpitations suggesting cardiac arrhythmias.

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Induces Ferroptosis of Sinoatrial Node Pacemaker Cells
Circulation Research, 2022Background: Increasing evidence suggests that cardiac arrhythmias are frequent clinical features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sinus node damage may lead to bradycardia.
