- Title
Magnetocardiography Throws Its Hat in the Ring.
- Authors
STEINBERG, JONATHAN S.; LEVITT, HOWARD
- Abstract
The article comments on the significance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator in determining the left ventricular dysfunction. It has found out that intrinsic cardiac electrical activity generates a magnetic field, based on the principle of magnetic induction. On the body surface, these magnetic fields can be detected with less contribution from thoracic conductance of electrical impulses.
