Modeling the operating regimes of the small- and large-sized generating electrodes of an intracardiac navigation system attendant to changes of the contact surface resistance

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

A mathematical model and system of equations for calculating the distribution of electric field potentials in the medium with inhomogeneous conductivity is suggested. Lack of advantages from the application of large-sized electrodes is demonstrated and the conclusion is drawn on the optimal application of small-sized electrodes.
