    摘要: A probe generates location signals, and has an electrode at a distal end which acquires from heart chamber surface positions electrical signals due to a conduction wave traversing the surface. A processor derives LATs from the electrical signals, calculates a first time difference between LATs at a first pair of positions and a second time difference between LATs at a second pair of positions. The processor calculates first and second LAT-derived distances as products of the first and second time differences with a conduction wave velocity, identifies an arrhythmia origin at a surface location where a first difference in distances from the location to the first pair of the positions is equal to the first LAT-derived distance, and a second difference in distances from the location to the second pair of the positions is equal to the second LAT-derived distance, and marks the origin on a surface representation.

    摘要: Apparatus for assessing scarring of cardiac tissue, consisting of a probe and a processor. The probe has one or more electrodes, which are configured to contact the tissue at a plurality of positions and to sense respective voltages in the tissue at the positions. The processor receives the respective voltages, and computes a triangular mesh that is representative of a surface of the tissue and that consists of multiple triangles having vertices corresponding to the positions contacted by the one or more electrodes. The processor calculates respective scar areas within the triangles by comparing the respective voltages sensed at the positions corresponding to the vertices to a predefined range of the voltages that is associated with scarring, and computes a sum of the respective areas. The processor compares the sum to a total area of the triangles so as to assess a degree of the scarring of the tissue.

    摘要: An ECG data management system is disclosed which includes a first memory portion configured to store ECG data having values corresponding to electrical signals of a heart acquired over time via a plurality of electrodes disposed at different areas of the heart. The system also includes a second memory portion configured to store the ECG data and a processing device configured to manage mapping of the ECG data by performing a mapping procedure including generating map data and one or more maps from the ECG data for display; concurrently storing the ECG data in the first memory portion and the second memory portion; and in response to a request to export the ECG data, stopping the storing of the ECG data in the second memory portion and synchronizing the ECG data stored in the second memory portion with the map data while continuing to perform the mapping procedure.
