  • Patent number: 11464441
    Abstract: A myocardial excitation complementation/visualization apparatus includes an acquiring section that acquires intracardiac electrocardiograms of a subject, the intracardiac electrocardiograms being recorded by a recording unit having a plurality of electrodes, a processing section that performs a computation for completing and visualizing a state of excitation in a myocardium of the subject based on the intracardiac electrocardiograms, and a displaying section that displays the state of excitation in the myocardium of the subject based on an output of the processing section. The processing section includes a first generating section, a correcting section, a second generating section, and a third generating section. The displaying section displays a change of the state of excitation in the myocardium of the subject based on the visualized data.

  • Patent number: 10898098
    Abstract: A myocardial excitation determining apparatus which can support the determination of excitation dynamics of the myocardium during atrial fibrillation is provided. A myocardial excitation determining apparatus has: an acquiring section 2 which acquires an intracardiac electrocardiogram of a subject; a processing section 3 which computes to produce visualized data indicating a state of excitation in the myocardium, based on the intracardiac electrocardiogram; and a determining section 4 which determines the type of excitation dynamics of the myocardium based on the visualized data.

  • Publication number: 20180289278
    Abstract: A cardiac catheter inspection apparatus comprising: an acquiring section (31) which is configured to acquire a first waveform of heart beats during sinus rhythm, and an arrhythmia waveform during arrhythmia; a measuring section (31) which is configured to measure a second electrocardiogram; a first calculating section (32) which is configured to calculate correction coefficients for statistically matching the first electrocardiogram and the second electrocardiogram with each other; a waveform producing section (34) which is configured to produce a comparison waveform that functions as an object to be compared with a response waveform of pacing performed by a cardiac catheter; and a second calculating section (36) which is configured to calculate a matching rate of the response waveform and the comparison waveform.
