Feedback control of calcium driven alternans in cardiac myocytes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cardiac alternans is a beat-to-beat alternation of the action potential duration (APD), which has been implicated as a possible cause of ventricular fibrillation. Previous studies have shown that alternans can originate via a period doubling bifurcation caused by the nonlinear dependence of the APD on the previous diastolic interval. In this case, it has been demonstrated that alternans can be eliminated by applying feedback control on the pacing cycle length. However, studies have shown that alternans can also originate due to unstable calcium (Ca) cycling in cardiac myocytes. In this study, we explore the effectiveness of APD feedback control to suppress alternans when the underlying instability is due to unstable Ca cycling. In particular, we explore the role of the bi-directional coupling between Ca and voltage and determine the effectiveness of feedback control under a wide range of conditions. We also analyze the applicability of feedback control on a coupled two cell system and show that APD control induces spatially out-of-phase alternans. We analyze the onset and the necessary conditions for the emergence of these out-of-phase patterns and assess the effectiveness of feedback control to suppress Ca driven alternans in a multi-cellular system.
