    摘要: Methods and systems for electrophysiological measurement involve obtaining signals that indicate cardiac electrical activity by using electrodes in contact with the body tissues of a living patient. These signals are then processed to identify local activation times at the electrodes. The identified local activation times are displayed as traces representing the signals over time on a display screen. The brightness of specific trace segments within a designated time window, encompassing the identified local activation times, may be increased relative to segments outside the time window. The method provides flexibility in signal acquisition, allowing for the use of intracardiac electrogram signals acquired within the heart or electrocardiogram signals acquired from the body surface. This method enhances visibility and enables efficient analysis of cardiac activity traces for diagnostic and monitoring purposes.

    摘要: A method includes, based on respective signals acquired by a plurality of electrodes on an anatomical surface of a heart, computing respective local activation times (LATs) at respective locations of the electrodes. The method further includes, based on the LATs, computing respective directions of electrical propagation at the locations. The method further includes selecting pairs of adjacent ones of the electrodes such that, for each of the pairs, a vector joining the pair is aligned, to within a predefined threshold degree of alignment, with the direction of electrical propagation at the location of one of the electrodes belonging to the pair. The method further includes associating respective bipolar voltages measured by the pairs of electrodes with a digital model of the anatomical surface. Other examples are also described.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining multiple local activation times (LATs) at different respective measurement locations on an anatomical surface of a heart. The method further includes computing respective directions of electrical propagation at one or more sampling locations on the anatomical surface, by, for each sampling location, selecting a respective subset of the measurement locations for the sampling location, constructing a set of vectors, each of at least some of the vectors including, for a different respective measurement location in the subset, three position values derived from respective position coordinates of the measurement location and an LAT value derived from the LAT at the measurement location, and computing the direction of electrical propagation at the sampling location based on a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of a 4×4 covariance matrix for the set of vectors. The method further includes indicating the directions of electrical propagation on a display.

    摘要: A system and method for training a neural network to automatically detect a cardiac structure of interest including a processor comprising a neural network training model that receives training data. The training data comprises a first input comprising first electrophysiological data regarding a first cardiac structure received by an electrode of a first catheter positioned within a heart, and a second input comprising a second data relating to the first cardiac structure. The neural network training model generates, as an output, a determination of whether the first cardiac structure is the cardiac structure of interest based on the training data.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for intra-cardiac pattern matching are disclosed. A unipolar pattern intra-cardiac (IC) electromyography (EGM) signals is received for an area of a heart from a plurality of activity channels corresponding to a plurality of electrodes of a catheter. A window of interest (WOI) of the IC EGM signals is received representing an entire cycle length for a single heartbeat. A pattern of interest (POI) is selected to include a portion of WOI corresponding to an arrhythmia activation. A template POI is generated representative of the arrhythmia activation. Subsequent electrical activity is received, weights are applied and the subsequent electrical activity is compared with the template POI. A correlation score is generated and compared with a threshold correlation score.
