Abstract

In our magnetocardiographic (MCG) localisation studies, two modelling approaches have been applied: (a) modelling the sources with dipole and quadrupole moments in a general multipole expansion and using a homogeneous, semi-infinite volume conductor, and (b) using a single current dipole source in a homogeneous, realistically shaped torso. Both approaches have been successfully applied in localising the premature ventricular excitation site in patients suffering from the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. In addition, we have participated in developing a model of propagation of electrical activation in the ventricles. Anisotropic conductivity properties and spiral arrangement of myocardial fibres are included in the model.
