Scroll waves in a three-dimensional excitable medium with negative filament tension may break up and display spatiotemporal chaos. The presence of non-excitable heterogeneities can influence the evolution of the medium, in particular scroll waves may pin to such heterogeneities. We show [1] thin rodlike heterogeneities suppress otherwise developing spatiotemporal chaos and additionally clear out already existing chaotic excitation patterns.
