Abstract

Application of chaos theory to medicine has yielded intriguing and controversial results. In this paper, a continuous conjecture for the solution of the Poincaré equation suggests that chaos provides a framework for the measurement of disorder within a system. However, as demonstrated by the behavior of the continuous versus the discrete approach to chaos, the general use of the term chaos must be used with care. The theoretical results are illustrated in two medical applications dealing with hemodynamic flow and congestive heart failure.
