    Abstract: A catheter adapted to determine a contact force, the catheter including a proximal segment, a distal segment, and an elastic segment extending from the proximal segment to the distal segment. The distal segment includes a plurality of tip electrodes including at least three radial electrodes disposed about a circumference of the distal segment. The radial electrodes are configured to output electrical signals indicative of a contact vector of the contact force. The elastic segment includes a force sensing device configured to output an electrical signal indicative of a magnitude of an axial component of the contact force, wherein the contact force is determined by scaling the magnitude of the axial component of the contact force by the contact vector.

    Abstract: Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example system for mapping the electrical activity of the heart includes a catheter shaft. The catheter shaft includes a plurality of electrodes including a first and a second electrode. The system also includes a processor. The processor is capable of collecting a first signal corresponding to a first electrode over a time period and generating a first time-frequency distribution corresponding to the first signal. The first time-frequency distribution includes a first dominant frequency value representation occurring at one or more first base frequencies. The processor is also capable of applying a filter to the first signal or derivatives thereof to determine whether the first dominant frequency value representation includes a single first dominant frequency value at a first base frequency or two or more first dominant frequency values at two or more base frequencies.

    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.
