A mathematical model for analysis of ECG waves in a normal subject

The modelling of ECG wave is one of the essential tools in explaining the activity of the heart ECG voltage vector. In the present paper a mathematical model of the ECG wave has been proposed, assuming the human body to be equivalent to a cylindrical composite dielectric and conducting medium and the heart to be a harmonic bio-signal generator located in this medium. This model has been utilised to explain the harmonic amplitude orientation pattern at a number of electrode locations on the frontal plane of a normal human body. It has been observed that there exists a close proximity of the nature of the mathematically predicted data with that of the experimental data.
