1. A method of using feature detection and localization (FDL) algorithms for identifying and localizing reentrant circuits from electrogram features in a heart of a subject comprising the steps of:

  • a) using a contoured array of electrodes arranged in concentric circular patterns to obtain signals from the heart'"'"'s surface to determine direction and velocity of an activating wavefront at the catheter location;

    b) obtaining and preprocessing analog electrogram signals, and then multiplexing and storing the signals in real time; and

    c) creating real-time maps and generating other textual information based on feature detection and localization (FDL) algorithms so as to thereby identify and localize reentrant circuits from electrogram features in the heart of the subject.
