In this document the interplay of a single large heterogeneity in cardiac tissue and the excitation dynamics associated with ventricuar tachycardia is investigated. Methods from non-linear dynamics are used to investigate the behaviour of the system in phase space.
Keywords: ventricular tachycardia; non linear dynamics; spiral pinning; phase transition curve; phase response curve; delay embedding
