  • Electrophysiologic measure of endpoints for ablation lesions created in fibrillating substrates
    Patent number: 6743225
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products measure electrical activity of the cardiac tissue proximate the lesion site during an ablation treatment, and then compare the measurements to determine whether the lesion is clinically efficacious so as to be able to block myocardial propagation. The methods can include obtaining the measurements and performing the ablation therapy while the subject is experiencing atrial fibrillation and may measure the standard deviation of the electrogram signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2004
    Assignee: UAB Research Foundation
    Inventors: Javier E. Sanchez, Jeffrey A. Hall, Michael E. Benser, Raymond E. Ideker, William M. Smith
