Abstract :
Summary form only given. We carried out a 3-D vector measurement of magnetocardiograms (MCGs) of normal subjects and subjects with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, which can detect the magnetic field components perpendicular to the chest wall (Bz) and tangential to the chest wall (Bx, By) simultaneously. In order to analyze the accessory pathway of WPW syndrome, source estimation to the delta wave was done using equivalent current dipole (ECD) method.
