Methods for detecting biological rhythm disorders

摘要

A method of detecting a cause of a heart rhythm disorder includes collecting data corresponding to activation onset time of each heart activation at multiple locations of the heart and generating an activation trail based on the sequential order of activation onset times. The activation trail is indicative of the cause of the heart rhythm disorder.

主权项

1. A method of detecting a source of a complex heart rhythm disorder, the method comprising:
collecting data associated with heart activation signals sensed by a plurality of sensors disposed at multiple locations in relation to a heart, the data comprising an activation onset time of each heart activation signal at each location such that a plurality of activation onset times at a plurality of locations is collected; generating an activation trail from the data based on a sequential order of the plurality of activation onset times at the plurality of locations, wherein the activation trail indicates the source of the complex heart rhythm disorder; and generating a clinical representation that identifies a region of the heart associated with the indicated source.
