Abstract:
A method and system for visualization of electrophysiology information sensed by electrodes on a catheter, includes recording times of electrode signal acquisition, designating a reference electrode signal acquisition, assigning a relative time to each recorded time of electrode signal acquisition relative to the reference electrode signal acquisition, identifying the electrodes with signal acquisition, correlating assigned relative times to identified electrodes to generate a sequence of electrode signal acquisitions, and generating a visual representation of the sequence of electrode signal acquisitions generating a visual representation with a graphical image of the electrodes, wherein individual electrodes are visually marked to represent the sequence of electrode signal acquisitions.

Claim (Index 16):
A visualization system, comprising:\n a catheter with electrodes adapted to acquire signals representative of conductivity of cardiac tissue; a signal processing unit configured to receive intracardiac signal acquisitions by the electrodes, the signal processing unit configured to identify the electrodes with intracardiac signal acquisitions; an ECG unit configured to detect a representative cardiac cycle; a timer configured to time the intracardiac signal acquisitions and identify an earliest intracardiac signal acquisition for the representative cardiac cycle; a control unit configured to assign relative times to the intracardiac signal acquisitions relative to the earliest intracardiac signal acquisition and to correlate assigned relative times to identified electrodes to generate a sequence of signal acquisitions; and a display configured to display the sequence of signal acquisitions in a series of separate graphical images of at least the electrodes, wherein individual electrodes are visually marked in the graphical images to represent the sequence of electrode signal acquisitions, and wherein the control unit is also configured to energize ablation electrodes to ablate and alter the conductivity of the cardiac tissue at selected locations.
