Abstract

This article shows the creation of a software that allows simulating the voltage in the epicardium by using inverse problems theory, and Tikhonov regularization. The software takes a mesh file containing two surfaces (heart and thorax) and calculates a transfer matrix using the volume conductor model. Then, with the selection of the Tikhonov regularization parameter gives a possible heart voltage distribution for a given data in the thorax.
