Abstract

This article presents different electromagnetic irradiation scenarios of a heterogeneous human heart placed in the field emitted by a dipole antenna. An anatomical model of the human heart was proposed. Specific absorption rates were calculated using a numerical software based on the finite difference time domain method. Several positions and frequencies for the radiation source were considered and compared.
