Abstract
The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of selected inhomogeneities and anisotropies oncomputed electric potential fields associated with the electrocardiographic forward problem. Themodel construction was based on the Utah Torso model and included geometry for major anatomicalstructures such as subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle, and lungs, as well as for epicardial fatpads, majorarteries and veins, and the sternum, ribs, spine and clavicles. Measured epicardial potentials served...Keywords
