Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems provide for working with the ever-increasing features of electroanatomical maps, displayed for use in various medical procedures. The features are represented, for example, as “map layers” or “layers” (these terms used interchangeably herein), and allow the operator of the electroanatomical mapping system to define and control all of the layers of the electroanatomical map being displayed from a single form.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store a definition of a cardiac pacing protocol. The processor is configured to (a) receive the stored definition of the cardiac pacing protocol, (b) in accordance with the pacing protocol, to automatically pace from an intracardiac location and to acquire respective sensed ECG signals, (c) based on one or more prespecified criteria for validity of the sensed ECG data, automatically accept or reject the sensed ECG signals, (d) based on one or more prespecified criteria for identification of an arrhythmia, identify the intracardiac location as an arrhythmogenic focus or pathway, (e) overlay the identified intracardiac location an electrophysiological (EP) map, and (f) subsequently identify or reject a new intracardiac location as an arrhythmogenic focus or pathway and overlay the new location on the EP map when pacing again from the new intracardiac location.
