Abstract：
:We present single fibre heart activity model (SFHAM) based on the current flow through the five bunches of fibres of the cardiac muscle (CM). The five effective fibres are identified and assigned to the appropriate segments of CM. Analytical functions describing ionic flows along the fibres are derived and proposed. The parameters determining the shapes and amplitudes of the functions proposed are obtained on the basis of standard 12-lead ECG measurements after numerical fitting procedures concentrating on the QRS-waves. As a consequence, five independent courses of partial, transient potentials are obtained representing: anterior, inferior, lateral, posterior walls, and interventricular septum activities, respectively. Moreover, to check our theoretical results we compare the potentials calculated with those from physical measurements performed on the patient's body surface. We expect that SFHAM will permit detection of pathological changes in particular fragments of CM.

杂志文章abstract：:A decrease in bone density at the hip or spine has been shown to increase the risk of fracture. A limitation of the bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is that it provides only a measure of a bone sample's average density when projected onto a 2D surface. Effectively, what determines bone fracture is whether an app...
