NONINVASIVE CARDIAC THERAPY EVALUATION

摘要

Systems, methods, and interfaces are described herein for assisting a user in noninvasive evaluation of patients for cardiac therapy and noninvasive evaluation of cardiac therapy being delivered. The systems, methods, and interfaces may provide graphical representations of cardiac electrical activation times about one or more portions of human anatomy and one or more cardiac health metrics.

主权项

1. A system for assisting in noninvasive evaluation of a patient for cardiac therapy comprising:
electrode apparatus comprising a plurality of external electrodes configured to be located proximate tissue of a patient; a display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface configured to present cardiac electrical activation time information and cardiac health information; and computing apparatus coupled to the electrode apparatus and the display apparatus and configured to provide the graphical user interface displayed on the display apparatus to assist a user in noninvasively evaluating the patient for cardiac therapy, wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to:
measure surrogate cardiac electrical activation times using one or more external electrodes of the plurality of external electrodes of the electrode apparatus proximate the patient's heart,display, on the graphical user interface, a graphical representation of the measured surrogate cardiac electrical activation times about a portion of human anatomy,measure at least one metric of the patient's cardiac health using one or more external electrodes of the plurality of external electrodes of the electrode apparatus proximate the patient's heart,display, on the graphical user interface, the at least one metric of the patient's cardiac health, anddisplay, on the graphical user interface, an indication of whether cardiac therapy for the patient may be beneficial.
