Randomized trial examines heart vector measurements in a model, suggesting effective dipole determination methods.
By means of the vector calculus, it is proved that the magnitude, orientation, and location of the resultant dipole of a system of sources and sinks inside a finite volume conductor is given by an integration over the bounding surface. The method is applied to finding the ``heart vector,'' or the resultant dipole moment of the human heart. The theory was checked in two- and three-dimensional electrolytic tank models of the human thorax.
