SHADOW-REP-015: Cardiac Chaos

Detection of electrical alternans and spiral waves as precursors to arrhythmia.

SHADOW-REP-015: Cardiac Chaos & Arrhythmia

Date: 2026-01-08 Experiment: EXP-015 Status: SUCCESS Author: Swarm Lab AI

Executive Summary

We modeled the electrical propagation in cardiac tissue to detect the onset of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF).

Key Findings

  • Electrical Alternans: The engine detected "Alternans" (beat-to-beat variation) as a precursor regime to chaos.
  • Spiral Waves: Visualized the formation of spiral waves (rotors) during the chaotic regime.

Conclusion

Swarm metrics can serve as a diagnostic tool for predicting cardiac arrest.
