Device and method for the geometric determination of electrical dipole densities on the cardiac wall

摘要

Disclosed are devices, a systems, and methods for determining the dipole densities on heart walls. In particular, a triangularization of the heart wall is performed in which the dipole density of each of multiple regions correlate to the potential measured at various locations within the associated chamber of the heart.

1. A method of treating a patient, comprising:
storing a geometrical representation of one or more cardiac chambers in a computer storage media; sensing and recording a plurality of potentials generated from cardiac activity with multiple electrodes disposed on and/or in a body; generating with a computer processor a database of dipole densities d(y) associated with one or more surfaces of the one or more cardiac chambers based on the plurality of potentials and the geometrical representation of the one or more cardiac chambers; diagnosing a cardiac condition based on the database of dipole densities; and treating the cardiac condition based on the database of dipole densities.
