  • Publication number: 20130006131
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method to target a biological rhythm disorder, such as a heart rhythm disorder. The system and method 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 heart rhythm disorder.

  • Publication number: 20120283579
    Abstract: An example system and method of reconstructing biological activation information are disclosed. A first biological signal and a second biological signal associated with an organ are processed via a computing device to determine whether there is a point of change in a derivative of the first biological signal with respect to a derivative of the second biological signal above a threshold. An activation onset time is assigned in the first biological signal at the point of change to define biological activation associated with the organ in the first cardiac signal if it is determined that the point of change is above the threshold.

  • Patent number: 8165666
    Abstract: An example system and method of reconstructing cardiac activation information are disclosed. A first cardiac signal and a second cardiac signal are processed via a computing device to determine whether there is a point of change in a derivative of the first cardiac signal with respect to a derivative of the second cardiac signal above a threshold. An activation onset time is assigned in the first cardiac signal at the point of change to define cardiac activation indicating a beat in the first cardiac signal if it is determined that the point of change is above the threshold.
