Abstract
We discuss the use of magnetocardiography to detect reentry currents in cardiac flutter and fibrillation. The magnetic field produced by induced atrial flutter was measured in isolated rabbit hearts. A moving dipole model is proposed to treat the experimental data and to locate the reentry path.
