    摘要: A method includes receiving a plurality of data points including electrical activation (EA) values measured at respective positions in at least a portion of a surface of a cardiac chamber of a heart of a patient. Using a predefined EA value criterion, the EA values in a given region of the cardiac surface are classified into multiple distinct EA wave-fronts, and multiple layers of EA values are calculated for the given region, wherein each EA layer includes the EA values found to belong to a respective and contiguous EA wave-front. The multiple EA layers are overlayed on a graphical representation of the surface. The graphical representation with the multiple overlaid EA layers is displayed to a user, with a graphical indication distinguishing between the multiple EA layers.

    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.
