Abstract

A number of electrode configurations, based on the usual four-electrode probe, are analysed in relation to the effect that changes in cardiac fiber rotation have on the potentials measured. Simulations are carried out using a mathematical model and a new solution technique, based on Fourier series followed by a simple one-dimensional finite difference scheme. This electrode analysis leads to the proposal of an in-principle method for determining cardiac fiber rotation
