Abstract:
A system can include a near-field instrument to be placed inside a chamber of a heart, a far-field instrument to be placed in a stable position in relation to the heart, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to identify a unique pattern in electrogram information received from the far-field instrument when the near-field instrument is in one or more positions within the heart. When the unique pattern is detected, the control unit is configured to receive electrogram information from the near-field instrument. While recording electrogram information from the near-field instrument, the control unit is also configured to record voltage and complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) characteristics of the tissue inside a heart chamber. This information combined with rotor information can be used to identify substrate versus non-substrate rotor characteristics.

Claim (Index 2):
A method, comprising:\n placing a far-field instrument on or in a patient such that the far-field instrument is positioned to receive far-field electrogram information from a stable position relative to a heart of a patient; placing a near-field instrument at a first position within a chamber of the heart; capturing, at a first time, near-field electrogram information from the near-field instrument while the near-field instrument is at the first position; associating the near-field electrogram information captured at the first time at the first position with far-field electrogram information received by the far-field instrument at the first time; moving the near-field instrument to a second position within the chamber of the heart; identifying, at a second time, a far-field electrogram pattern received from the far-field instrument that corresponds to the far-field electrogram information received at the first time; capturing, at the second time, near-field electrogram information from the near-field instrument while the near-field instrument is at the second position; and assembling an electro-anatomical model of a phase of the heart that includes the first position and the second position based on (i) the near-field electrogram information captured at the first time and (ii) the near-field electrogram information captured at the second time.
