Abstract :
This paper introduces novel methods for finding an initial solution required for the inverse computation of the timing of the depolarization and repolarization of the atria and the ventricles, as well as for constraining the subsequent iterative solution. Both methods make use of the shortest path between any two points on the heart´s surface while traveling through the myocardium
