Abstract:
On the basis of the bidomain model of anisotropic myocardium, mathematical relationships for calculating the characteristics of the extracellular electric and magnetic fields outside a closed or open depolarization front were derived on the assumption that the generator and fields are axially symmetric with respect to the longitudinal direction of the fibres making up the excitable tissue. The spatial configuration of the fields was determined and quantitative estimates were obtained for the electric potential and magnetic induction caused solely by the macroscopic anisotropy of the myocardium tissue as a volume conductor.
