Abstract

A simple method is described which permits analytical and predictive distortions of the horizontal planar vector loop (cube). The sets of distorting forces (pentagon) for various sites of myocardial infarctions are empirically derived from autopsy data. These sets of distorting forces correlate with the known facts regarding normal sequence of ventricular depolarization.
