Previous studies of the ECG inverse problem often assumed that the heart was static during the cardiac cycle; consequently, a time-dependent geometrical error was thought to be unavoidably introduced. In this paper, cardiac motion is included in solutions to the electrocardiographic inverse problem. Cardiac dynamics are simulated based on a previously developed biventricular model that coupled the... View full abstract»
