Abstract
A system to generate a representation of a rhythm disorder includes a plurality of sensors disposed at multiple locations spatially in relation to the heart, wherein cardiac information signals are sensed. A processor receives and analyzes the activation onsets of the cardiac information signals to determine an arrangement of activation onsets. A representation that indicates the clinical source of the rhythm disorder is generated based on the arrangement of the activation onsets.
Claims49
A system for generating a representation of a clinical source of a complex heart rhythm disorder comprising:
- a plurality of sensors disposed at multiple locations in relation to the heart to sense cardiac information signals;
- and
- a processor interfacing with the plurality of sensors, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive data associated with the cardiac information signals, the data comprising an activation onset of each cardiac information signal at each location such that a plurality of activation onsets at a plurality of locations is collected;
- determine a sequential arrangement of activation onsets derived from the data associated with the cardiac information signals;
- and
- generate a sensory representation based on the sequential arrangement of activation onsets, wherein the sensory representation indicates a region of the heart associated with the clinical source of the complex heart rhythm disorder.
