Abstract
A system and method of identifying a driver of a source associated with a heart rhythm disorder are disclosed. Data is accessed from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart. A local first region of the heart that has repeating activation and that 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.
Claims30
A method of identifying a driver of a source associated with a heart rhythm disorder, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a computing device, data from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart;
- identifying, by the computing device, a local first region of the heart that has repeating activation and that controls a second distant region of the heart for at least a predetermined number of beats;
- and
- assigning, by the computing device, the first local region as a driver of a source of the heart rhythm disorder, the source including the first local region and the second distant region.
A system of identifying a driver of a source associated with a heart rhythm disorder, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing data from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart;
- identifying a local first region of the heart that has repeating activation and that controls a second distant region of the heart for at least a predetermined number of beats;
- and
- assigning the first local region as a driver of a source of the heart rhythm disorder, the source including the first local region and the second distant region.
