Abstract:
Magnetocardiography is a non-invasive biomagnetic technique for measuring magnetic fields produced at the surface of the body when the heart is stimulated to beat. The measurement is contact-free and is independent of tissue resistance. For the first time, magnetocardiography employing multi-channel systems permits the accurate, non-invasive localization of accessory conduction pathways and ectopic ventricular activity.
