  • System and method to define an aggregated stability map of a rotational source over a plurality of time intervals associated with a biological rhythm disorder
    Patent number: 11426088
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method of generating an aggregated stability map of one or more rotational sources associated with a heart rhythm disorder. In accordance therewith, a plurality of rotational area profile maps is accessed for a plurality of analysis intervals. Each of the profile maps includes rotation intensity values for a plurality of locations associated with rotation of the one or more rotational sources. An aggregated stability map is generated based on the profile maps, wherein the stability map includes a plurality of locations. Each location includes a rotation intensity value based at least on a filter number of highest rotation intensity values from corresponding locations of the profile maps, the filter number being automatically determined from a plurality of filter numbers such that the plurality of profile maps as filtered includes a predetermined number of rotation intensity values in excess of a threshold intensity value.

    Patent number: 10765329
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method of generating an aggregated stability map of one or more rotational sources associated with a heart rhythm disorder. In accordance therewith, a plurality of rotational area profile maps is accessed for a plurality of analysis intervals. Each of the rotational area profile maps includes rotation intensity values for a plurality of locations associated with rotation of the one or more rotational sources. Thereafter, an aggregated stability map is generated map based on the plurality of rotational area profile maps, wherein the aggregated stability map includes a plurality of locations. Each location includes a rotation intensity value based at least on a filter level of highest rotation intensity values for that location from corresponding locations of the plurality of rotational area profile maps.
