System and method of identifying sources associated with biological rhythm disorders
First Claim
1. A method associated with identifying one or more sources of a heart rhythm disorder, the method comprising a computing device:
- selecting a spatial element associated with a region of a heart;
determining progressive rotational activations or progressive focal activations in relation to the selected spatial element;
forming a plurality of indexes of successive rotational activations or successive focal activations over time;
selecting from the plurality of indexes one or more indexes that indicate consistency of the successive rotational activations or successive focal activations;
generating a representation associated with the successive rotational activations or successive focal activations in relation to a portion of the region of the heart; and
identifying, using the generated representation, one or more sources associated with the heart rhythm disorder.

Abstract
An example system and method associated with identifying and treating a source of a heart rhythm disorder are disclosed. In accordance with therewith, a spatial element associated with a region of the heart is selected. Progressive rotational activations or progressive focal activations are determined in relation to the selected spatial element. A plurality of indexes of progressive rotational activations or progressive focal activations over time is formed. One or more indexes are selected from the plurality of indexes that indicate consistency of the successive rotational activations or the progressive focal activations in relation to a portion of the region of the heart.
