Abstract: A catheter system includes a catheter with an elongate catheter body, a catheter tip coupled to a distal end of the catheter body, and at least one light-emitting element configured to emit light to excite flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) molecules. The catheter system further including at least one light sensor configured to sense a light emitted by the excited FAD molecules.

Abstract: Catheters and methods are provided for determining a fluid flow rate of fluid located near a tip assembly of the catheter and providing an indication of the fluid flow condition and/or controlling one or more functions of the catheter based on the determined fluid rate. A method includes receiving a signal from a sensor located on a tip assembly of a catheter, the signal being indicative of a fluid flow condition of fluid located near the tip assembly. A processing device determines the fluid flow condition using the signal. Based on the determined fluid flow rate, the processor causes a device to output an indication of the determined fluid flow condition.

Abstract: Methods and systems for cardiac mapping are disclosed. An example system includes a catheter shaft with one or more electrodes coupled to a distal end of the catheter shaft. Electrodes sense electrical signals at anatomical locations within a heart. A processor coupled to the catheter shaft acquires electrogram signals of the heart using the electrodes. Each electrogram signal relates to three-dimensional positional data corresponding to the anatomical locations. The processor also store the electrogram signals of the heart corresponding to electrical activities sensed at corresponding anatomical locations, calculate an activation recovery interval associated with each of the corresponding anatomical locations, determine spatial gradient data of the activation recovery interval based on a distance between at least two neighboring anatomical locations. The system also includes a display device to display a three-dimensional graphical representation of the spatial gradient data between the at least two neighboring anatomical.
