Cardiac alternans is a beat-to-beat alternation in the electrical properties of the heart, such as membrane potential and intracellular calcium (Ca) cycling in myocytes. Due to the bi-directional coupling between voltage and calcium, it is not easy to decide which mechanism drives the alternans and...
