    Abstract: A respiration signal can be generated within electroanatomical mapping system from the non-driven impedance signals received from a plurality of patch electrodes. The non-driven impedance signals are used to define a reference respiration signal. Each of a subset of the non-driven impedance signals can then be compared to the reference respiration signal to determine a polarity value; a scaling factor can also be computed that normalizes the non-driven impedance signals. The polarity values and scaling factors are applied to the non-driven impedance signals to generate weighted non-driven impedance signals, which can then be summed into a composite respiration signal. The composite respiration signal can, in turn, be subject to its own polarity value and scaling factor for use in real time (e.g., for gating data collection, respiration compensation, detection of irregular respiration, and the like).

    Abstract: A system includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a cardiac anatomical surface, and to receive multiple electrophysiological (EP) data points comprising (i) respective locations on the cardiac anatomical surface and (ii) respective values of arrhythmia-indicative EP parameters at the locations, and apply respective criteria to the values of the EP data points. For each EP data point whose value meets a respective criterion, the processor is configured to graphically encode the EP data point to generate a point of interest (POI), superimpose POIs of at least two types of arrhythmia-indicative EP parameters on the anatomical surface as to generate a POI map reflecting surface locations likely of being arrhythmogenic, and visualize the POI map to a user, on the display.

    Abstract: A system includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to (i) receive a cardiac electrophysiological (EP) velocity vectors map, (ii) compute a set of directed graphs from at least some of the velocity vectors, (iii) using the directed graphs, identify respective origin velocity vectors on the EP velocity vectors map, (iv) define one or more regions on the EP velocity vectors map, (v) determining based on origin velocity vectors in each of the one or more regions, whether the one or more regions contain a focal source of an arrhythmia, and (vi) visualize regions identified to contain a focal source on the EP map to a user, on the display.

    Abstract: When generating anatomical maps (e.g., anatomical geometries and/or electrophysiology maps), it can be desirable to analyze whether or not a collected data point was collected from a region of interest. During an electrophysiology study, for example, an electroanatomical mapping system collects electrophysiology data points, each including an electrogram signal. By defining both a window of interest and a window of exclusion within the electrogram signal, the electroanatomical mapping system can analyze collected data points to determine whether or not they should be included in a map. In particular, the electroanatomical mapping system can compare the electrophysiology signal within the window of interest and the window of exclusion with respect to at least one signal parameter and add the data point to the map if the comparison satisfies at least one corresponding inclusion criterion. Applicable signal parameters include maximum peak-to-peak voltage, conduction velocity, and electrogram morphology.

    Abstract: An animated electrophysiology map is generated from a plurality of data points, each including measured electrophysiology information, location information, and timing information. The electrophysiology and location information can be used to generate the electrophysiology map, such as a local activation time, peak-to-peak voltage, or fractionation map. Animated timing markers can be superimposed upon the electrophysiology map using the electrophysiology, location, and timing information. For example a series of frames can be displayed sequentially, each including a static image of the electrophysiology map at a point in time and timing markers corresponding to the state or position of an activation wavefront at the point in time superimposed thereon. The visibility or opacity of the timing markers can be adjusted from frame to frame, dependent upon a distance between the timing marker and the activation wavefront, to give the illusion that the timing markers are moving along the electrophysiology map.
