Abstract
Electrical activation of tissue can be mapped from using electrophysiological data from a plurality of electrodes carried by a high density grid catheter. Each clique of three or more electrodes will define a pair of orthogonal bipoles as well as several unipoles. An electroanatomical mapping system can analyze the electrophysiological data such that, for each clique, an integral of an omnipolar electrogram the best morphologically matches a representative (e.g., average) unipolar electrogram for the clique is identified. The orientation of the best-fit omnipole is then defined as the activation direction for the clique. The conduction velocity magnitude can also be computed as a ratio of an amplitude of the unipolar electrogram for the clique to an amplitude of the integral of the omnipolar electrogram for the clique along the activation direction. The resulting activation map can also be output graphically.
