    摘要: A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for assisting medical personnel in interpreting data collected by a multiple electrode catheter deployed within the body. The GUI generates and displays an image of the multiple electrode catheter. By manipulating appropriate controls, the medical personnel are able to change the orientation of the displayed image until it matches the orientation of the actual multiple electrode catheter as seen on a fluoroscope. Afterwards, the medical personnel can determine the relative position and orientation of the catheter by reference to the GUI generated image. To aid in interpreting data recovered by the catheter, the individual electrodes and splines are highlighted and labeled. Electrodes recovering particular types of physiological waveforms can be automatically identified and highlighted. Comments and anatomic landmarks can be inserted where desired to further assist in interpreting data. Views from various, virtual fluoroangles can be obtained, and various images can be recorded, stored and printed. The position of a roving electrode can also be indicated.

    摘要: Systems and methods identify the physical, mechanical, and functional attributes of multiple electrode arrays. The systems and methods provide a structure adapted for contact with tissue in an interior body region. The structure possesses a physical property affecting tissue contact. The systems and methods include an identification code that uniquely identifies the physical property of the structure, such as size of the structure, or shape of the structure, or symmetry or lack of symmetry of the structure, or a stiffness value of the structure, or combinations thereof. The systems and methods also include an identification element attached in association with the structure to retain the identification code. The identification element is adapted to provide an output representative of the identification code. The structure also carries at least one electrode. The electrode possesses-a physical property, or both. The identification code uniquely identifies both the physical property of the structure and the physical or functional property of the electrode. The identification element retains one or more of these physical or functional properties for output and consideration prior to use of the structure.

    摘要: Systems and methods support arrays of multiple electrodes in asymmetric pattern, either radially, or axially, or both. Radial asymmetry makes it possible provide localized density of electrodes. Axial asymmetry makes it possible to locate electrodes in a pattern that closely conforms to the irregular contours of an interior body cavity, like the heart. In a preferred embodiment, the systems and methods operate the multiple electrode arrays to form continuous lesion patterns.

    摘要: An analog or digital processing element and associated method analyses electrograms or electrocardiograms to locate sites potentially appropriate for ablation. The element and method compares a first number of electrogram or electrocardiogram samples recorded over time during a cardiac event of known diagnosis with a second number of paced electrogram or electrocardiogram samples recorded over time. The comparison cross-correlates the first number of electrogram samples with the second number of paced electrogram samples. The element and method generate an output based upon the cross-correlation. The element and method compare the output to a predetermined value to determine whether a pacing site for the paced electrogram or electrocardiogram samples is near to a potential ablation site.
