This invention is an algorithm that uses electrocardiograms from a diagnostic catheter. The catheter is guided by the algorithm to target atrial fibrillation sources.
About
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal and irregular rhythm of the heart, where the electrical signals are generated erratically. The disorder affects roughly 34 million people worldwide. Current methods employed to detect AF sources in the heart utilize a 64-pole catheter, which has limitations in the overall AF detection strategy. This invention leverages a probabilistic algorithm that uses electrocardiograms from a multi-polar diagnostic catheter (MPDC). The movement of the MPDC is guided by input from the algorithm to target the AF source more accurately and is recorded on an electrogram.
Key Benefits
Ability to guide the movement of a MPDC Development of an AF ablation target map Delineation of the location of an AF source Software add-on to 3D mapping system to current AF mapping systems
