A modified van der Pol equation is a mathematical model used to recreate physiological behaviour in the conducting heart's system. The use of certain values for coupled terms allows to simulate circulating re-entry waves, which play an important role in generating a pathological heart rate. The existence of re-entry may entail serious disorders, like auricular fibrillation or tachycardia.
