Abstract
The present invention is directed to an automatable method for directing electrophysiology catheter movement toward the site of arrhythmia origin using the cardiac activation sequence measured during arrhythmia and during pacing. The purpose of this method is to improve the speed and accuracy of localizing the site of arrhythmia origin for the purpose of targeting therapeutic ablation of the arrhythmia.
