Patent number: 11969206Abstract: Intra-cardiac voltage data display systems display a plurality of data sets derived at least from intra-cardiac voltage data sampled by an electrode. In some embodiments, at least some of the data sets are derived from a portion of the intra-cardiac voltage data that excludes an excludable portion of the intra-cardiac voltage data having a relationship with an occurrence of a particular cardiac event to facilitate identification of the existence of a transmural lesion in tissue adjacent the electrode. In some embodiments, the particular cardiac event is the occurrence of an R wave in the cardiac cycle, and the excludable portion is a V wave in the cardiac cycle.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: KARDIUM INC.Inventors: Daniel Robert Weinkam, Daniel Martin Reinders, Darrell Anthony Harrington, Douglas Wayne Goertzen, Michael Hermann Weber
