Modelling of cardioventilatory is a new application of simple circle map to cardioventilatory coupling. Cardioventilatory coupling refers to the observation that in resting, sleeping or anaesthetised subjects, each drawing of a breath (inspiration) commonly follows the preceding heart beat by a fixed interval. Such coupling has important implications for the understanding of a number of medical situations involving breathing and the heart, including cardiac arrhythmia, arterial fibrillation, apnoea and sudden infant death syndrome.
