    Abstract: Electrical activity propagation along an electrode array within a cardiac chamber is reconstructed. Signals are sampled from the electrode array including signals from a channel of interest. An N-dimensional signal vector is then constructed using signals from N neighboring channels referenced to the channel of interest. A change in the N-dimensional signal vector over time is then determined and compared to a predetermined threshold to establish whether local activation has occurred on the channel of interest.

    Abstract: At least some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an electroporation ablation device having a first catheter and a second catheter. The first catheter comprises one or more first electrodes and has a first surface area. The second catheter comprises one or more second electrodes and has a second surface area. When the electroporation ablation device is in operation for ablating a target tissue, the first catheter is configured to be disposed in an extracardiac location and anatomically proximate to the target tissue, the second catheter is configured to be disposed at an intracardiac location proximate to the target tissue, and the electroporation ablation device is configured to generate an electric field between the one or more first electrodes and the one or more second electrodes with electric field strength sufficient to ablate the target tissue via irreversible electroporation.

    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: Methods and systems for cardiac mapping are disclosed. An example system includes a catheter shaft with one or more electrodes coupled to a distal end of the catheter shaft. Electrodes sense electrical signals at anatomical locations within a heart. A processor coupled to the catheter shaft acquires electrogram signals of the heart using the electrodes. Each electrogram signal relates to three-dimensional positional data corresponding to the anatomical locations. The processor also store the electrogram signals of the heart corresponding to electrical activities sensed at corresponding anatomical locations, calculate an activation recovery interval associated with each of the corresponding anatomical locations, determine spatial gradient data of the activation recovery interval based on a distance between at least two neighboring anatomical locations. The system also includes a display device to display a three-dimensional graphical representation of the spatial gradient data between the at least two neighboring anatomical.
