摘要:
Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to estimate the action potential wave propagation in a patient's heart, and subsequently to detect at least one location or type of at least one source of, or rotational phenomenon associated with, at least one cardiac rhythm disorder using intracardiac electrodes and a modified multi-frame Horn-Schunck algorithm to generate a map corresponding to a spatial map, the map being configured to reveal on a monitor or display to a user the at least one location of the at least one source of the at least one cardiac rhythm disorder.

Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to detect a location of a source of at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in a patient's heart, such as atrial fibrillation, and to classify same. Velocity vector maps reveal the location of the source of the at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in the patient's heart, which may be, by way of example, an active rotor in the patient's myocardium and atrium. The resulting velocity vector map may be further processed and/or analyzed to classify the nature of the patient's cardiac rhythm disorder, e.g., as Type A, B or C atrial fibrillation. The resulting cardiac rhythm classification then can be used to determine the optimal, most efficacious and/or most economic treatment or surgical procedure that should be provided to the individual patient. A simple and computationally efficient intra-cardiac catheter-based navigation system is also described.

Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to detect a location of a source of at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in a patient's heart. In some embodiments, electrogram signals are acquired from inside a patient's heart, and subsequently normalized, adjusted and/or filtered, followed by generating a two-dimensional (2D) spatial map, grid or representation of the electrode positions, processing the amplitude-adjusted and filtered electrogram signals to generate a plurality of three-dimensional electrogram surfaces corresponding at least partially to the 2 D grid, one surface being generated for each or selected discrete times, and processing the plurality of three-dimensional electrogram surfaces through time to generate a velocity vector map corresponding at least partially to the 2 D grid. The resulting velocity vector map is configured to reveal the location of the source of the at least one cardiac rhythm disorder, which may be, by way of example, an active rotor in a patient's myocardium and atrium.

摘要:
Electrographic flow mapping (EGF mapping) is a technique used for aiding catheter ablation when treating atrial fibrillation. Visualizing EGF fields during a cardiac catherization and ablation procedure is an important and necessary part of conducting the procedure. Several different visualization methods are described and disclosed herein that may be employed to visualize EGF fields and maps, including quiver plots, streamline plots, particle plots, particle trail plots, moving particle plots, and moving and fading particle plots.

Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to detect a location of a source of at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in a patient's heart. In some embodiments, electrogram signals are acquired from a patient's body surface, and subsequently normalized, adjusted and/or filtered, followed by generating a two-dimensional spatial map, grid or representation of the electrode positions, processing the amplitude-adjusted and filtered electrogram signals to generate a plurality of three-dimensional electrogram surfaces corresponding at least partially to the 2D map, one surface being generated for each or selected discrete times, and processing the plurality of three-dimensional electrogram surfaces through time to generate a velocity vector map corresponding at least partially to the 2D map. The resulting velocity vector map maybe employed to classify a patient as one of an A-type patient, a B-type patient, and a C-type patient, and to guide therapy subsequently delivered to the patient. Trained atrial discriminative machine learning models that facilitate the foregoing systems and methods, and that provide predictions or results concerning a patient's condition, are also disclosed.
