  • Abstract
    In order to solve the so called inverse problem in electrocardiography (IECG) in this study we try to analyse, like a first step, the variation of the bean potential (charges) with conductivity in each of the considering model tissues. In other words, we want to determine the cardiac potential distribution in 39 sagital sections of the human body. In this way knowing the conductivities of each human tissue: bone, muscle, heart muscle, lung, fat, blood, and also the cardiac charge distribution (like current density) for each sagital section. The unique source of current in the considered human body zone is the heart.
