Forward problem of electrocardiology

The forward problem in electrocardiology refers to the challenge of predicting the electric potentials on the body surface generated by the heart's electrical activity. In simpler terms, it involves modeling how the electrical signals produced by the heart propagate through the body and how those signals can be observed on the skin surface. ### Key Aspects of the Forward Problem: 1. **Electrical Activity of the Heart**: The heart generates electrical signals during each heartbeat, primarily through actions of specialized cardiac cells.
