Abstract
A system and method for improving ablation procedures is presented. The method may comprise measuring EGM signals; performing three dimensional mapping of the EGM signals; and detecting a location for ablation based on the mapping. The method may further comprise creating a potential duration map, a local activation time map, and a bipolar voltage map. The method may further comprise creating a PDM by defining a window of interest (WOI) comprising at least a cycle length; calculating previous heart beats based on the cycle length and reference annotation; and assigning the heart beats within the cycle length of the WOI to the WOI. The method may further comprise detecting a location for ablation by finding start and end potential durations for the WOI; calculating a potential duration value using the start and end potential durations; selecting an ablation point; and using the selected ablation point as the detected location.
