In this study, the analysis of magnetocardiographic (MCG) data for the three groups of patients is given. The first group included 31 healthy volunteers, who had no “history” of a heart disease. The second group included MCG record of 51 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The third group consisted of 31 MCG records for patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Founded advantages of MCG to potential method provide registration and mapping features of electrophysiological processes in the heart, when the change takes place at the MCG and often absent on ECG.
