  • Patent number: 9662029
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evaluating an expected effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data is received as at least one ECG lead from a set of electrodes. A frequency spectrum representing the ECG data is generated via a Fourier transform. At least one predictor value is extracted from the calculated frequency spectrum. A fitness parameter, representing the expected effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization, is determined from at least the extracted predictor value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 30, 2017
    Assignee: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation
    Inventors: Mark Niebauer, Cristian Pasluosta, Niraj Varma

  • Publication number: 20150119671
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that can identify a mechanism of action of an arrhythmia in a chamber of the heart. A plurality of electrograms recorded by a plurality of electrodes contacting a wall of a chamber of the heart at a corresponding plurality of different locations within the chamber in response to an electrical perturbation can be received. An activation map of the chamber can be determined based on the plurality of electrograms. Based on the activation map, a location and a shape of a mechanism of action of the arrhythmia can be determined. A treatment plan can be developed based on a location and a size of the mechanism of action within the chamber. For example, the treatment plan can include guiding an ablation of the mechanism of action.
