  • Patent number: 10376221
    Abstract: Cardiac electrograms are recorded in a plurality of channels. Beats are classified automatically into respective classifications according to a resemblance of the morphologic characteristics of the beats to members of a set of templates. Respective electroanatomic maps of the heart are generated from the classified beats.

  • Publication number: 20170156792
    Abstract: A method for treatment evaluation includes applying energy through a probe to ablate tissue at a plurality of sites in an organ in a body of a patient, thereby creating lesions in the tissue including at least first and second lesions at respective first and second, mutually-adjacent sites. Location coordinates and respective treatment parameters are recorded at each of the sites with respect to the applied energy. Based on the recorded treatment parameters, respective measures of size of the lesions are computed, including at least respective first and second measures of the first and second lesions. An indication of contiguity between at least the first and second lesions is generated responsively to the first and second measures and to a distance between the location coordinates of the first and second sites.

  • Publication number: 20120197123
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining circumference and a percent change in circumference of a structure are provided. Certain methods include receiving first and second sets of at least three vertical plane images of a structure about a long axis of the structure that were acquired at first and second points in time, respectively. Data points from each of the images of each of the sets that define a contour of the structure are identified. The circumference of the structure at a horizontal plane of the structure at the first and second points in time using identified data points positioned on the horizontal plane is estimated. A percent change between the estimated circumference of the structure at the first point in time and the estimated circumference of the structure at the second point in time is determined.
