Abstract :
In this research, the authors use a high-resolution (cubic voxels with 3.6-mm edges) model of the human body, modified to include a pacemaker, and previously developed and verified computational methods to evaluate potential differences for representative placements of cardiac pacemaker electrodes under several source configurations. Various EMI scenarios are considered
