Stable wave propagation is important for heart health, however, the electromagnetic radiation could affect normal signal propagation of heart, even make a sudden cardiac arrest. In this paper, the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the propagation of stable target wave generated by linear feedback control is studied in detail. It is confirmed that there are different transitions of electrical activities in cardiac tissue, which are transitions from target wave to spiral wave, some isolated islands of pattern waves coexisted, broken pattern and even the quiescent state, are generated when the electromagnetic field is imposed on the cardiac tissue in three ways. Furthermore, it is interesting to find there are different real affected regions, in which the electrical activities of nodes are destroyed, when the radiation signal is imposed on the cardiac tissue in different ways. It is also found the kinds of dynamical behaviors in the media are dependent on the real affected region. These results state that electromagnetic radiation could change the electrical activities, even destroy and suppress the wave propagation of wave source, and the ways of electromagnetic radiation imposed on the media are also important.
