  • Abstract
    On the basis of the FitzHugh-Nagumo-type model we investigate the possibility of suppression of the spiral wave turbulence by weak pacemaker excitations. We consider different ways of media stabilization and study the dependence of the suppression efficiency on the excitation zone shape and media parameters. Also, we analyze the frequency of target waves in the unperturbed media as a function of the external force frequency. Applications of the obtained results to cardiac rhythm pathologies are considered.
