Abstract
1. 1. A method has been described for constructing relatively simple two-dimensional models of the human body which demonstrate the quantitative relationships between currents of cardiogenic origin and the various extremity leads of the electrocardiogram. 2. 2. The relationship between lead vectors and the electrical fields produced by reciprocally energizing the various lead pathways has been demonstrated. 3. 3. Sets of Einthoven lead vectors (Burger triangles) for three representative regions of the model heart under various conditions of electrical inhomogeneity of the model have been demonstrated. 4. 4. The possibility of generalizing the triaxial and hexaxial reference systems has been discussed, and a method of “fitting” such generalized systems to particular sets of lead vector data has been described. 5. 5. The theory and method of forming synthetic leads having any desired orientation of their lead vectors has been described. The possible advantages of such leads have been discussed.
