Claim Text:
1. A method for using feedback to at least one of minimize and treat cardiac fibrillation in a patient, comprising: obtaining one or more measurements of tissue activation frequency across a cardiac tissue substrate in the patient's heart using a data collection unit; obtaining with a processing unit a map of one or more measurements indicative of a number of electrical circuit cores and distribution of the electrical circuit cores for a duration across the cardiac tissue substrate based on the one or more measurements of tissue activation frequency, said map being registered onto a representation of the patient's heart; defining an optimal placement of at least one ablation lesion in the cardiac tissue substrate; applying ablation lesion therapy based on the optimal placement of the at least one ablation lesion; determining whether the ablation lesion therapy at least one of minimized and treated cardiac fibrillation; and if the ablation lesion therapy is determined to have not at least one of minimized and treated cardiac fibrillation, repeating the steps of generating, defining, applying, and determining until ablation lesion therapy at least one of minimizes and treats cardiac fibrillation.
