Abstract

A map generator can be programmed to generate a multi-parameter graphical map by encoding at least two different physiological parameters for a geometric surface, corresponding to tissue of a patient, using different color components of a multi-dimensional color model such that each of the different physiological parameters is encoded by at least one of the different color components.

Claims (24)

1. A system comprising:

a plurality of sensors configured to measure electrophysiological signals from cardiac tissue associated with a patient;

an ablation catheter configured to deliver an ablative therapy by applying one or more of heating, cooling and high-frequency; and

a computing device coupled to the plurality of sensors, the computing device comprising:

memory storing machine readable instructions and configured to store electroanatomic data; and

at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the machine readable instructions,

wherein the machine readable instructions are further configured to perform, when executed, a method comprising:

measuring the electrophysiological signals;

storing the electroanatomic data that corresponds to the electrophysiological signals measured by the plurality of sensors;

computing phase data for each of a plurality of points of a geometric surface corresponding to the cardiac tissue based on the electroanatomic data for at least one-time interval;

encoding the phase data to a first color component representing a dimension of a multi-dimensional color model, wherein the multi-dimensional real time model comprises at least two dimensions;

computing magnitude data for each of the plurality of points of the geometric surface corresponding to the cardiac tissue based on the electroanatomic data for at least one-time interval;

encoding the magnitude data to a second color component representing another dimension of the multi-dimensional color model; and

generating the output data corresponding to a multi-parameter graphical map for the geometric surface corresponding to the cardiac tissue of the patient by mapping the phase data to the first color component and the magnitude data to the second color component;

displaying the multi-parameter graphical map for the geometric surface corresponding to the cardiac tissue of the patient;

configuring one or more control parameters for delivering the ablative therapy to the cardiac tissue based on the multi-parameter graphical map;

delivering the ablative therapy to the cardiac tissue according to the one or more control parameters; and

reconfiguring the one or more control parameters intraoperatively during delivery of the ablative therapy based on one or more changes to the output data reflected in the multi-parameter graphical map.

2. The system of claim 1 , the method further comprising normalizing the magnitude data or the phase data to a predetermined scale.

3. The system of claim 2 , the method further comprising adjusting a property of the normalizing in response to a user input.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the multi-parameter graphical map is a first graphical map, the method further comprising generating a second graphical map concurrently with the first graphical map, the second graphical map including only one of the phase data or the magnitude data.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising control circuitry connected to the ablation catheter, the control circuitry configured to control delivery of the ablative therapy to the cardiac tissue based on the one or more control parameters.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising one or more sensors located on the ablation catheter to communicate sensor information back to the control circuitry to which the ablation catheter is connected.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the control system is further configured to provide the one or more control parameters based on a position of the ablation catheter relative to the cardiac tissue.
