HEART-VECTOR AND LEADS. PART II

Abstract

In a preceding paper Therei-n we pointed out that this relation is given by three linear equations, characterized by nine coefficients. The value of these coefficients was determined by means of a model of the human body, a glass phantom filled with an electrolytically conducting liquid. An artificial heart was used to put up an electric current field in the liquid, and the potential differences caused by this field were measured at the extremities L, R, and F.
