Abstract
A method for magnetocardiographic investigation is presented according to the following: 1) development of integral equations for electric potential and magnetic field generated by current sources within an inhomogeneous volume conductor, and 2) description of a numerical algorithm to solve these equations. This method was developed specifically for an inhomogeneous torso-shaped volume conductor containing an autonomic model which dynamically simulates the electrical activity of the heart; thus, numerical simulation of electrocardiograms and magnetocardiograms for different pathological heart conditions is possible.
