Body surface potential mapping (BSPM) enables to obtain more information about local changes of the heart electrical field then classical electrocardiography makes it possible.
We performed this non-invasive diagnostic method in the group of 108 men in the frame of the primary preventive study of the risk factors of atherosclerosis. The findings of BSPM were compared to the selective coronary angiography. The study was started in the years 1976-1979 in the district Prague 2. Out of 2370 invited middle-aged men, 1419 took part in the study. 937 men (66.0 %) were affected by one or more risk factors of atherosclerosis.
No statistical significance was found in regard to the number and the level of risk factors of atherosclerosis between the groups of patients with different findings on the coronary angiography..
Nevertheless, the method of BSPM is a very useful in epidemiological studies of atherosclerosis, namely with coronary localization, in clinical practice, and in the biomedical research too.
