Summary

ThePR interval of magnetocardiograms has been measured with a SQUID sensor in the Berlin magnetically shielded room. In addition to previously reported ramps with isolated superimposed signals in several cases a structured morphology has been found.

Riassunto

Il magnetocardiogramma ad alta risoluzione è stato registrato mediante magnetometri superconduttori in 12 volontari sani utilizzando la camera schermata di Berlino per ridurre il livello di rumore elettromagnetico. La morfologia del trattoPR magnetico è caratterizzata dalle «rampe» in precedenza osservate, sulle quali s’inseriscono segnali. A volte la forma d’onda appare complessa.
