Computation of Heart Surface Potentials Using the Surface Source Model

Heart Surface Source Model. Introduction: The bidomain model of the heart leads to the result that the volume density of cardiac current source moment is proportional to the gradient of the macroscopic transmembrane action potential distribution. If the anisotropy ratios of the inner and outer domains (syncytia) of the myocardium are equal, then the volume distribution of cardiac sources can be replaced by an appropriate double layer on the heart surface. The double layer source distribution (heart surface source model) provides a basis for calculating heart surface potentials from cardiac sources.
