Abstract(s)

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a critical public health challenge, emphasizing the need for predictive techniques that model complex physiological dynamics. Studies indicate that the “V-trough” pattern in sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) could act as an early indicator of potentially fatal cardiac events, which can be effectively modeled using a modified version of Chua’s chaotic system, incorporating the variables of heart rate (HR), SNA, and blood pressure (BP). This paper introduces a Chua circuit with delay, and proposes a novel control design technique based on Lurie-type control systems theory combined with mixed-sensitivity H∞ (S/KS/T) methodology. The proposed controller enables precise regulation of HR in Chua’s circuit, both with and without delay, paving the way for the development of advanced devices capable of preventing SCD. Furthermore, the developed theory allows for the project of robust controllers for delayed Lurie systems within the single-input–single-output (SISO) framework. The presented theoretical framework, supported by numerical simulations, demonstrates the effectiveness of the conceptualization, marking a considerable advance in the understanding and early intervention of SCD through robust and nonlinear control systems.
