Abstract:
A system and method for mapping an anatomical structure includes sensing activation signals of intrinsic physiological activity with a plurality of electrodes disposed in or near the anatomical structure. A most recent intrinsic event at a selected time is determined based on the sensed activation signals and a persistent display of relevant characteristics is generated based on the sensed activation signals of the most recent intrinsic event. The persistent display is updated upon detection of a subsequent intrinsic event.

Abstract:
A method and system for mapping an anatomical structure includes sensing activation signals of intrinsic physiological activity with a plurality of mapping electrodes disposed in or near the anatomical structure. The activation signals are used to determine a dominant frequency for each electrode from which a wavefront vector for each electrode is determined based on a difference between the dominant frequency at a first electrode location and the dominant frequency at neighboring electrodes. An anatomical map is generated based on the determined wavefront vectors.

A method for mapping a cardiac chamber includes sensing activation signals of intrinsic physiological activity with a plurality of electrodes disposed in or near the cardiac chamber, the activation signals including a near-field activation signal component and a far-field activation signal component, isolating R-wave events in the activation signals, generating a far-field activation template representative of the far-field activation signal component based on the R-wave events, and filtering the far-field activation template from the activation signals to identify the near-field activation signal components in the activation signals.
Abstract:
An anatomical mapping system includes a plurality of mapping electrodes each having an electrode location and configured to detect activation signals of intrinsic physiological activity within an anatomical structure. A mapping processor is associated with the plurality of mapping electrodes and is configured to record the detected activation signals and associate one of the plurality of mapping electrodes with each recorded activation signal. The mapping processor is further configured to analyze the recorded activation signals to identify at least one recurring pattern based on a relationship between a timing of the detected activation signals and the electrode locations of the mapping electrode associated with each detected activation signal.
