Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine Electrocardiographic Body Surface Mapping: Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Body Surface Mapping, Book 60, (Paperback)

This book represents the proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Body Surface Mapping (BSM) held at Nijmegen; the Netherlands, from 11th to 13th of June, 1985, under the auspices of the International Council on Electrocardiology. This meeting brought together a group of international scientists en- gaged in the field of the study of electrocardiographic body surface po- tentials. Previous meetings of this kind took place at Burlington, Vt; U.S.A. in 1972, organized by Rush and Lepeschkin, and in 1982 at Tokyo or- ganized by Yamada, Harumi and Musha. The special aims of this 3rd International Symposium were: - to take stock of recent theoretical, technical, clinical and analytical advances - to discuss and stimulate future developments with respect to internatio- nal cooperation - to discuss promising clinical applications of the BSM technique A number of scientists engaged in this field had been invited to parti- cipate in this meeting, either by presenting a formal, introductory lec- ture, or by presenting a poster devoted to their more recent work. The n- vitation list was made up following suggestions of the scientific com- mittee for this meeting, the members of which were: (Parma; Italy) Prof.Dr. B. Taccardi Prof.Dr. F.A. Roberge (Montreal; Canada) Prof.Dr. A. van Oosterom (Nijmegen; The Netherlands). The organizing committee noted with great satisfaction that almost all people invited were indeed able to attend.
