System and method for far-field voltage mapping for scar severity estimation

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and system for analyzing unipolar electrophysiological (EP) signals acquired by a multi-electrode catheter placed in a ventricle of a patient's heart. The method includes receiving unipolar EP signals, extracting unipolar far-field signals from the unipolar EP signals, and analyzing the extracted unipolar far-field signals to estimate the distribution of scar regions across a thickness of wall tissue of the ventricle. Using the estimated distribution, a unipolar far-field EP map showing the scar regions is generated. The method further includes displaying the unipolar far-field EP map including the scar regions to a user. The system comprises a display device and a processor configured to perform the steps of the method.
