Abstract
A method of identifying gaps between electrophysiology (EP) ablation points may comprise: obtaining a plurality of ablation points recorded from a completed electrophysiology ablation procedure; digitally mapping the plurality of ablation points to an anatomical model corresponding to the completed electrophysiology ablation procedure; calculating ablation gap probability distributions for each of the plurality of ablation points based on ablation tolerance variables associated with each of the plurality of ablation points; and overlaying the ablation gap probability distributions on to the digitally mapped plurality of ablation points on the anatomical model. In this way, ablation gaps may be non-invasively identified prior to patient discharge, thereby allowing for further EP treatment to remove the ablation gaps while reducing readmission rates. Furthermore, by representing ablation points using calculated ablation burn density distributions and ablation gap probabilities, the accuracy of identifying ablation gaps may be increased.
