PRESENTING QUALITY MEASURES OF TISSUE ABLATION IN A BLOOD VESSEL USING A TWO-DIMENSIONAL MAP
A method includes, receiving multiple signals from multiple respective electrodes arranged along an inner circumference of a blood vessel that has been ablated. Based on the multiple signals, one or more quality measures of the ablated blood vessel are produced. A graphical presentation indicative of the one or more quality measures, is displayed to a user in a two-dimensional (2D) polar coordinate system.
HANDLING OF AGE TRANSMITTED DATA IN MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM
An example of a system for review of clinical data includes a medical device configured to receive patient data signals from patient interface devices coupled to the medical device, and an auxiliary device configured to communicatively couple to the medical device via a communication channel and including an output device, a memory, a communication interface, and a processor configured to establish the communication channel, estimate a transmission age for the patient data, receive the patient data from the medical device via the communication channel, determine a patient data age based on at least one of the transmission age and a playback selection age, select a patient data age threshold based on a patient data context, compare the patient data age to the patient data age threshold to determine a patient data age indication, and provide the patient data and the patient data age indication at the output device.
Electrocardiogram analysis apparatus and electrocardiogram system
An electrocardiogram analysis apparatus includes: an electrocardiogram signal inputting section to which electrocardiogram signals of measurement electrodes attached to a subject are input; a mistaken attachment determining section which, by using the input electrocardiogram signals, determines whether the measurement electrodes are mistakenly attached or not; an outputting section which, if it is determined that the measurement electrodes are mistakenly attached, notifies of mistaken attachment of the measurement electrodes; and an electrocardiogram data storing section which, in a case where there is an input indicative of confirmation of the notification, stores information indicating that the measurement electrodes have been checked, together with the input electrocardiogram signals, and, in a case where there is not an input indicative of confirmation of the notification, stores information indicating that the measurement electrodes have not been checked, together with the input electrocardiogram signals.

Generating approximations of cardiograms from different source configurations
Systems are provided for generating data representing electromagnetic states of a heart for medical, scientific, research, and/or engineering purposes. The systems generate the data based on source configurations such as dimensions of, and scar or fibrosis or pro-arrhythmic substrate location within, a heart and a computational model of the electromagnetic output of the heart. The systems may dynamically generate the source configurations to provide representative source configurations that may be found in a population. For each source configuration of the electromagnetic source, the systems run a simulation of the functioning of the heart to generate modeled electromagnetic output (e.g., an electromagnetic mesh for each simulation step with a voltage at each point of the electromagnetic mesh) for that source configuration. The systems may generate a cardiogram for each source configuration from the modeled electromagnetic output of that source configuration for use in predicting the source location of an arrhythmia.

Detecting artifacts in a signal
This disclosure is directed towards detecting artifacts in an ECG signal. An ECG system may include multiple sensors which can sense an ECG signal when attached to a patient. Bipolar leads connect the sensors, and provide the ECG signal from the sensors to a computing device. The computing device receives respective signals from the bipolar leads, where the respective signals are indicative of the ECG signal. The computing device identifies, based on the respective signals, a potential artifact corresponding to a subset of the plurality of bipolar leads. The computing device determines that each lead of the subset of the plurality of bipolar leads is connected to a common sensor. The computing device may use signals originating from a remainder of the bipolar leads (e.g., the bipolar leads that are not connected to the sensor(s) where the artifact is detected) to detect a condition of the patient.
