SYSTEM AND METHOD TO IDENTIFY SOURCES ASSOCIATED WITH BIOLOGICAL RHYTHM DISORDERS

摘要

In a system and method for identifying a driver of a source associated with a heart rhythm disorder, data are accessed from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart. A first region and a second region of the heart, which comprise the source of the heart rhythm disorder, are identified. If the first region of the heart has repeating centrifugal activation and controls the second region of the heart for at least a predetermined number of beats, the first region is identified as controlling the source of the heart rhythm disorder.

1. A method of identifying a region associated with controlling a source of a heart rhythm disorder, the method comprising:
accessing, by a computing device, data from a plurality of sensors representing biological activity in the heart; identifying, by the computing device, a first and a second region of the heart comprising the source of the heart rhythm disorder, wherein the first region of the heart has repeating centrifugal activation; and determining, by the computing device, whether the first region controls the second region of the heart for at least a predetermined number of beats; and identifying the first region as controlling the source when the first region controls the second region for at least a predetermined number of beats.
