Outline of Final Research Achievements

The technology development to reveal the disease mechanisms and demonstrate the evidence for diagnoses and treatments in medical area has been highly demanded recently. Cardiac disease is the second leading cause of death in Japan, representing 15.5%. Therefore, in this study, we successfully developed the real-time measurement system of the heart surface potentials with high-accuracy/high-resolution in order to achieve the holistic assessment of heart function from the physiological viewpoint. The measurement performance of the system was demonstrated by applying to the biological models.
