ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to EKG mapping with a plurality of electrodes attachable to the thorax of a patient at known distance from the heart, wherein time-dependent parameters that specially accentuate the multipole components of the cardiac electrical field are calculated from the voltages at the electrodes. The mapping takes place using the following steps:
