High resolution multi-function and conformal electronics device for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias

A cardiac tissue mapping system for introducing to heart tissue of a heart formed by a wall and having a passage leading thereto, comprising:

• a catheter probe having a distal end;
• and
• said distal end comprising a flexible and stretchable circuit formed as a single unitary chiplet structure, said circuit embedded with:
• a first electrode array forming a first electrode layer having a plurality of stimulation-only electrodes configured to deliver an electrical stimulation signal to the heart tissue;
• a second electrode array forming a second electrode layer coupled to the first electrode layer, said second electrode layer having one or more ablation-only actuators different from said plurality of stimulation-only electrodes, wherein said ablation-only actuators are configured to deliver an ablation signal to the heart tissue;
• the first electrode array further including one or more arrhythmia-only sensors different from said plurality of stimulation-only electrodes and one or more arrhythmia-only sensors;
• wherein said one or more arrhythmia-only sensors deliver an arrhythmic pacing energy to detect electrical, mechanical, impedance, and metabolic characteristics of the heart tissue and verify that the Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia (AYNRT) pathway has been sufficiently ablated;
• and
• a third electrode array forming a third electrode layer coupled to the first and second electrode layers and having a plurality of temperature and pressure sensor electrodes different from said stimulation-only sensors, said ablation-only actuators, and said arrhythmia-only sensors, wherein said plurality of temperature and pressure sensor electrodes detect temperature and pressure;
• wherein said first and second electrode arrays are formed in rows and columns that are evenly-spaced apart, aligned with and parallel to each other, and whereby the second electrode array overlays the first electrode array and the third electrode array overlays the second electrode array;
• wherein said circuit further comprises a processor configured to map the wall of cardiac tissue, wherein said processor detects arrhythmia severity in the cardiac tissue only via the one or more arrhythmia-only sensors, simultaneously performs real-time ablation therapy only via the one or more ablation-only actuators having a duration and force based on the detected arrhythmia severity in the cardiac tissue and the detected temperature and pressure from said plurality of temperature and pressure sensor electrodes, and simultaneously delivers in real-time only via said plurality of stimulation-only electrodes the electrical stimulation signal to provide localized stimulation therapy based on the detected arrhythmia severity and restore normal heart function.
