    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: A method of determining target heart ablation regions is provided which includes detecting electro-cardiogram (ECG) signals each indicating an electrical activity of a heart over time and determining, for each of the ECG signals, local activation times (LATs) each indicating a time of electrical activation for an area the heart. The method also includes generating, based on the LATs, electrical activity mapping information for displaying one or more maps representing the electrical activity of the heart and alternatively, or in addition to the electrical activity mapping information, generating spatio-temporal mapping information for one or more maps representing a spatio-temporal manifestation of the conditions indicative of cardiac arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). The method further includes determining a region of interest (ROI) of the heart by identifying the ROI as a region exhibiting conditions indicative of cardiac arrhythmia based on the mapping information.

    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.
