A recently derived mathematical model of an isolated heart is extended here to a closed-loop cardiovascular system. Taking the end-diastolic volume as state variable, the authors show that the closed-loop cardiovascular system can be described by a one-dimensional nonlinear discrete dynamical system that depends on parameters describing the systolic and diastolic properties of the heart, heart rate, total peripheral resistance, and arterial capacitance. Studies of this model show that the system possesses a rich spectrum of dynamical behavior, from stable points through stable cycles to a "chaotic" behavior. It is shown that such an analysis of dynamic behavior yields those domains in the parameter space that correspond to a normal and abnormal beating heart, when the heart ejects time-invariant and time-variant (periodic or aperiodic) stable stroke volumes, respectively. Determination of such domains may lead to better understanding of the specific pathologic mechanism involved in the evolution of an abnormal beating heart.
