Causal Unit of Rotors in a Cardiac System
Hiroshi Ashikaga, Francisco Prieto-Castrillo, Mari Kawakatsu +1
The heart exhibits complex systems behaviors during atrial fibrillation (AF), where the macroscopic collective behavior of the heart causes the microscopic behavior. However, the r…
Inter-Scale Information Flow as a Surrogate for Downward Causation That Maintains Spiral Waves
Hiroshi Ashikaga, Ryan G. James
The mechanism that maintains atrial fibrillation (AF) remains elusive. One approach to understanding and controlling the mechanism ("AF driver") is to quantify inter-scale informat…
Locating Order-Disorder Phase Transition in a Cardiac System
Hiroshi Ashikaga, Ameneh Asgari-Targhi
To prevent sudden cardiac death, predicting where in the cardiac system an order-disorder phase transition into ventricular fibrillation begins is as important as when it begins. W…
