abstract = "We study collective phenomena in nonhomogeneous autonomous and forced cardiac cell culture models, including one- and two-dimensional lattices of oscillatory cells and mixtures of oscillatory and excitable cells. Individual cell dynamics is described by a modified Luo-Rudy model with depolarizing current. We focus on the transition from incoherent behavior to global synchronization via cluster synchronization regimes as coupling strength is increased. These regimes are characterized qualitatively by space-time plots and quantitatively by profiles of local frequencies and distributions of cluster sizes in dependence upon coupling strength. We describe spatio-temporal patterns arising during this transition, including pacemakers, spiral waves and complicated irregular activity. We investigate the influence of external force on the processes of control of cardiac activity, e.g. on the suppression of spiral wave chaos in the network.",
