Abstract
A dynamic control technique was used to suppress a cardiac arrhythmia called an alternans rhythm in a piece of dissected rabbit heart. Our control algorithm adapted to drifting system parameters, making it well suited for the control of physiological rhythms. Control of cardiac alternans rhythms may have important clinical implications since they often precede serious cardiac arrhythmias and are a harbinger of sudden cardiac death.Keywords
