A method for electrophysiological assessment, including acquiring electrical signals from locations of a region of ablated tissue in a heart chamber, and deriving from the signals respective annotations, which are indicative of times within a heart cycle at which a conduction wave traversed the locations. The method includes identifying a first location, at a first distance from the region, where the electrical signals include a double-potential signal, having first and second annotations at different times within the heart cycle, and identifying, in proximity to the first location, a second location, at a second distance from the region, greater than the first distance, where the electrical signals have a third annotation. The method further includes selecting one of the first and second annotations that is closest to the third annotation as a valid annotation for the first location, and displaying the valid annotation on an electroanatomical map of the heart.

METHOD OF SEARCHING OPTIMAL ZONES FOR ELECTROPULSE THERAPY (VARIANTS)

The invention comprises providing electric stimuli, which are generated by forming the following ringing circuit: active electrode—inductive storage unit—passive electrode—interelectrode tissues—active electrode, the electric stimuli creating oscillations which are used as a test signal. In one variant of the method, the electrodes are successively applied (in another variant—moved uniformly) across the skin area. Every time the electrodes-to-skin contact is detected, the oscillation parameters are recorded after a delay. Moreover, the values of parameters can be averaged. The invention allows for both combined and disjointed (i.e. separated) electrode placement. An optimal zone for electropulse therapy is identified by a minimal or maximal value of one or more parameters of the aforementioned oscillations and the use of the principle of small asymmetry. The invention further provides for an increase in the accuracy with which zones optimal for electropulse therapy are identified and localized.
