The analyses of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect occurring in electro-physiologic (EP) examinations carried out in an MR environment is of importance in order to establish tool boxes to remove MHD related effects from intra-cardiac ECG signals. The aim in this work was to establish an experimental setup to simulate the MHD effect in a model system using standard EP-measurement equipment with respect to a characterization of the pure MHD signal.
