Abstract
A system and method to target a biological rhythm disorder include processing cardiac signals via a computing device to determine a shape in a region of tissue defined by a source associated with the biological rhythm disorder that migrates spatially on or within the shape, and identifying at least one portion of the tissue proximate to the shape to enable selective modification of the at least one portion of tissue in order to terminate or alter the biological rhythm disorder.
Claims22
A method of targeting a biological rhythm disorder, the method comprising:
- processing biological signals via a computing device to determine a shape in a region of tissue defined by migration of a source associated with the biological rhythm disorder;
- and
- identifying via the computing device at least one portion of the tissue proximate to the shape, the at least one portion being associated with terminating or altering the biological rhythm disorder.
A system to target a biological rhythm disorder, the system comprising:
- a computing device configured to:
- process biological signals to determine a shape in a region of tissue defined by migration of a source associated with the biological rhythm disorder;
- and
- identify at least one portion of the tissue proximate to the shape, the at least one portion being associated with terminating or altering the biological rhythm disorder.
