摘要: A method including processing electrocardiograph (ECG) signals taken over a heartbeat received over a plurality of channels, selecting a subset of the ECG signals captured at a point in time with a window of interest (WOI) around reference annotations and having a morphology pattern within the WOI, storing the morphology patterns, receiving continuous sets of ECG signals taken over a plurality of heartbeats over the plurality of channels and having a morphology pattern within the WOI, performing a correlation between the stored morphology patterns of the ECH signals and the morphology patterns of the continuous sets of ECH signals for each heartbeat, generating a correlation coefficient that is a measure of a goodness of fit between geometries of the ECG signals and the continuous sets of ECG signals and identifying each heartbeat having a correlation coefficient that exceeds a threshold coefficient as having been caused by an arrhythmia.

摘要: A method is provided. The method is implemented by a detection engine embodied in processor executable code stored on a memory and executed by at least one processor. The method includes modeling a vector velocity field that measures and quantifies a velocity of electrocardiogram data signals that pass through a local activation time. The method further includes determining codes for each point in plane to provide a color code vector field image; detecting focal and rotor indications by using kernels to scan the color coded vector field image; and classifying the focal and rotor indications into perpetuators.

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.

摘要: A method includes acquiring intracardiac unipolar signals and intracardiac bipolar signals at a given region of a heart of a patient. The unipolar signals are pruned by eliminating ones of the unipolar signals that correspond in time to respective bipolar signals. One or more unipolar signals are identified among the pruned unipolar signals, that are associated with far-field P-waves. Using the identified P-waves, a window of interest (WOI) is set on electrograms acquired in an atrium of the heart, and, using the electrograms having the set WOI, an electrophysiological (EP) map is generated, of the atrium indicative of atrial tachycardia (AT) tissue locations therein.

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: Methods, apparatus, and systems for medical procedures are disclosed herein and include detecting points of an intra-cardiac area that exhibits abnormal activations, such as local abnormal ventricular activations (LAVAs). Points that exhibit such abnormal activations may be referred to as seed points that are identified during a first step of the process disclosed herein. The seed points may be identified using one or more inputs such as unipolar and bipolar mapping channels, body surface ECGs, past activations, neighboring points and the like during the first step which prioritizes high specificity over sensitivity. During a second step which prioritizes high sensitivity, electrical activations of neighboring points near the seed points are analyzed to determine if the activations are similar (e.g., have a similar time) as the abnormal activations corresponding to the corresponding seed points.

摘要: A method, including receiving a bipolar signal from a pair of electrodes in proximity to a myocardium of a human subject, and receiving a unipolar signal from a selected one of the pair of electrodes. The method further includes delineating a window of interest (WOI) for the unipolar and bipolar signals, within the WOI computing local unipolar minimum derivatives of the unipolar signal, and times of occurrence of the local unipolar minimum derivatives, and within the WOI computing bipolar derivatives of the bipolar signal at the times of occurrence. The method also includes evaluating ratios of the bipolar derivatives to the local unipolar minimum derivatives, and when the ratios are greater than a preset threshold ratio value, assigning the times of occurrence as times of activation of the myocardium, counting a number of the times of activation; and classifying the unipolar signal according to the number.
