Abstract:
Cardiac mapping catheters and methods for using the catheters are described. The catheter can detect the presence, direction and/or source of a depolarization wave front associated with cardiac arrhythmia. A mapping catheter includes a plurality of bipolar electrode pairs in which the members of each pair are opposed to one another across a perimeter, for instance in a circular pattern. The spaced arrangement of the electrodes can be utilized to identify directional paths of moving electric fields or wave fronts in any direction passing across the endocardial surface. The catheters can be used to identify locations and types of triggers and/or drivers of cardiac arrhythmia including rotors, ectopic trigger foci and/or to delineate reentrant pathways.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the array of electrodes is placed in contact with the cardiac tissue.
