Abstract:
In a system and method for identifying a driver of a source associated with a heart rhythm disorder, data are accessed from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart. A first region and a second region of the heart, which comprise the source of the heart rhythm disorder, are identified. If the first region of the heart has repeating centrifugal activation and controls the second region of the heart for at least a predetermined number of beats, the first region is identified as controlling the source of the heart rhythm disorder.
Abstract:
A system for processing cardiac activation information associated with a complex rhythm disorder identifies a location of the heart rhythm disorder by determining activations within cardiac signals obtained at neighboring locations of the heart and arranging the activations to identify an activation trail. The activation trail may define a rotational pattern or radially emanating pattern corresponding to an approximate core of the heart rhythm disorder.
Abstract:
An example system and method associated with identifying and treating a source of a heart rhythm disorder are disclosed. In accordance therewith, a spatial element associated with a region of the heart is selected. Progressive rotational activations or progressive focal activations are determined in relation to the selected spatial element over a period of time. The selecting and determining are repeated over multiple periods of time. A source parameter of rotation activations or focal activations is determined, wherein the source parameter indicates consistency of successive rotational activations or focal activations in relation to a portion of the region of the heart. The determining of a source parameter is repeated for multiple regions of the heart. Thereafter, representation of the source parameter is displayed for each of the multiple regions of the heart to identify a shape representing the source of the heart rhythm disorder.

In accordance with therewith, a spatial element associated with a region of the heart is selected. Progressive rotational activations or progressive focal activations are determined in relation to the selected spatial element. A plurality of indexes of progressive rotational activations or progressive focal activations over time is formed. One or more indexes are selected from the plurality of indexes that indicate consistency of the successive rotational activations or the progressive focal activations in relation to a portion of the region of the heart.
Abstract:
In a system and method for reconstructing cardiac activation information, an analysis cardiac signal and a reference cardiac signal are accessed and processed to determine a first point of change in the analysis cardiac signal at which a derivative of the analysis cardiac signal diverges with respect to a derivative of the reference cardiac signal. The signals are processed to determine a second point of change in the analysis cardiac signal at which a different derivative of the analysis cardiac signal with respect to a different derivative of the reference cardiac signal. An activation onset time is assigned in the analysis cardiac signal at a point based on a mathematical association of the first point of change and the second point of change to define cardiac activation indicating a beat in the analysis cardiac signal.

Abstract:
A system and method are provided for identifying a driver of a source associated with a heart rhythm disorder. Data are accessed from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart. A local first region of the heart that has repeating activation and determine whether the first region controls a second distant region of the heart for at least a predetermined number of beats is identified. The first local region is assigned as a driver of a source of the heart rhythm disorder, the source including the first local region and the second distant region.
