Patent ID: 10238350

Abstract:
A method of generating a real-time electrophysiology map, such as a cardiac electrophysiology map, includes displaying a cardiac surface model and receiving a plurality of electrophysiology data points (e.g., using a plurality of intracardiac electrodes). The electrophysiology data from the received electrophysiology data points can be displayed and updated on the cardiac surface model in real-time when it satisfies a preset inclusion criteria, such as a projection distance criterion (e.g., the electrophysiology data point is within a preset distance of the cardiac surface model), a contact force criterion (e.g., the intracardiac catheter is exerting at least a preset contact force on the tissue surface), and/or an electrical coupling criterion (e.g., the electrode-tissue electrical coupling exceeds a preset threshold). New electrophysiology data points can be received when a triggering event, such as a point in the cardiac cycle, occurs, or according to a preset timer interval.
