Heart Geometrical Measurements

Technology Benefits

Fewer model assumptions simplifies measurements, improves accuracyGenerates a mathematical model that can be used for simulation and other therapeuticsPredictive model can be used to generate and test hypothesis about tachycardia pathologyImproved understanding of cardiac geometries aids clinicians in diagnosis

Technology Application

Modeling reentrant ventricular tachycardia with standard cardiac imaging techniquesCreation of detailed activation maps using infarct border zone geometryResearch into conditions where myocardial structure is complex and heterogeneous such as: intramyocardial surviving strands, heavily trabeculated myocardium and the presence of altered tissue impedance as seen in heart failure

Detailed Technology Description

The invention is a geometrical formulation of the relationship between infarct border zone and the propagation of electrical activation wavefronts in reentrant circuits. Thickness measurements of the infarct border zone are used to generate a rate o...
