Abstract
1. 1. Approximately ideal lead connections may be applied to irregularly shaped, electrically homogeneous volume conductors on the basis of well-defined theoretical principles rather than by means of trial and error methods. 2. 2. These underlying principles were tested and amply confirmed by studies conducted on a series of laminar models. 3. 3. This study confirms both theoretically and experimentally the relationship that the electrical moment due to a number of sources and sinks within a homogeneous volume conductor is equivalent to a surface integral involving unit normals and surface potentials. 4. 4. The method of ideal lead connection proposed here would undoubtedly be cumbersome, but it might profitably be applied to scalar and vector electrocardiography at an investigative level. © 1957.
