Simultaneous analysis of the cardiac electric and magnetic fields using the scalar multipole expansion (Q760351)

A theoretical analysis of electric and magnetic fields of the heart, based solely upon the scalar multipole expansion, is carried out in order to gain an insight into the interrelation of the data contained in electro- and magnetocardiological measurements. The usual multipole expansion is applied for the electric field, however corresponding equivalent multipoles are formulated as idealized generators, having not only flow sources, but also vortex sources of the field.
