  • Abstract
    The stability and applicability of a previously developed inverse procedure for the noninvasive determination of the activation sequence of the human heart has been evaluated. In particular, the possibility of using a standard geometrical configuration representing the heart and the inhomogeneous volume conductor in this procedure has been tested. Results show that in order to obtain reliable inverse solutions, true tailored geometry should be used.
