  • Patent number: 11839445
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples and embodiments of systems, devices, components and methods configured to detect a location of a source of at least one cardiac rhythm disorder in a patient's heart. In some embodiments, electrogram signals am acquired from inside a patient's heart, and subsequently normalized, adjusted and/or filtered, followed by generating a two-dimensional (2D) spatial map, grid or representation of the electrode positions, processing the amplitude-adjusted and filtered electrogram signals to generate a plurality of three-dimensional electrogram surfaces corresponding at least partially to the 2 D grid, one surface being generated for each or selected discrete times, and processing the plurality of three-dimensional electrogram surfaces through time to generate a velocity vector map corresponding at least partially to the 2 D grid.

  • Patent number: 11672465
    Abstract: Electrographic flow mapping (EGF mapping) is a technique used for aiding catheter ablation when treating atrial fibrillation. Visualizing EGF fields during a cardiac catherization and ablation procedure is an important and necessary part of conducting the procedure. Several different visualization methods are described and disclosed herein that may be employed to visualize EGF fields and maps, including quiver plots, streamline plots, particle plots, particle trail plots, moving particle plots, and moving and fading particle plots.
