Recently, the wavelet analysis is being applied to the various fields, such as image data compression in informatics and spectrum analysis of the electrocardiogram. In the present article, we propose the two approaches, employing the wavelet analysis for the human heart diagnosis. One is the data base approach, and the other is an inverse approach searching for the magnetic field source of the human heart. The data base approach is an application of the data compression to the magnetocardiogram. Also, the magnetic field source searching is an application of the spectrum analysis to the magnetocardiogram. The results reveal that the data base approach makes it possible to identify the normal or abnormal heart, and the magnetic field source search is capable of estimating the current distribution of a distinct heart. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
