1. A system to reconstruct cardiac signals associated with a complex rhythm disorder, the system comprising at least one computing device that comprises:
- a controller configured to receive the cardiac signals from a plurality of sensors associated spatially with a patient'"'"'s heart; and
an analytic engine comprising;
a beat classification module configured to identify a plurality of discernible beats on high-confidence signals of sensors that are spatially adjacent to a sensor associated with a low-confidence signal, the discernible beats on the high-confidence signals corresponding to a non-discernible beat on the low-confidence signal; and
an activation onset module configured to;
compute a time vector between at least two activation onsets associated with the identified discernible beats on the high-confidence signals through the non-discernible beat on the low-confidence signal;
define a time interval associated with the non-discernible beat about a region of the low-confidence signal where the computed time vector crosses the non-discernible beat, the time interval indicating how early the non-discernible beat is able to activate based on a previous beat on the low-confidence signal that has a selected or determined activation onset and how late the non-discernible beat is able to terminate based on at least one predetermined property; and
assign the non-discernible beat an activation onset during the defined time interval that is closest to the computed time vector.

Abstract
System, assembly and method are provided to facilitate reconstruction of cardiac information representing a complex rhythm disorder associated with a patient'"'"'s heart to indicate a source of the heart rhythm disorder. The complex rhythm disorder can be treated by application of energy to modify the source of the rhythm disorder.

10. An assembly to reconstruct cardiac signals associated with a complex rhythm disorder, the assembly comprising:
-
a catheter comprising a plurality of sensors spatially associated with a patient'"'"'s heart to receive the cardiac signals; and a computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the sensors, the computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to; identify a plurality of discernible beats on high-confidence signals of sensors that are spatially adjacent to a sensor associated with a low-confidence signal, the discernible beats on the high-confidence signals corresponding to a non-discernible beat on the low-confidence signal; compute a time vector between at least two activation onsets associated with the identified discernible beats on the high-confidence signals through the non-discernible beat on the low-confidence signal; define a time interval associated with the non-discernible beat about a region of the low-confidence signal where the computed time vector crosses the non-discernible beat, the defined time interval indicating how early the non-discernible beat is able to activate based on a previous beat on the low-confidence signal that has a selected or determined activation onset and how late the non-discernible beat is able to terminate based on at least one predetermined property; and assign the non-discernible beat an activation onset during the defined time interval that is closest to the computed time vector for the non-discernible beat. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of reconstructing cardiac signals associated with a complex rhythm disorder received from a plurality of sensors associated spatially with a patient'"'"'s heart, the method comprising:
-
identifying, using a beat classification module of a computing device, a plurality of discernible beats on high-confidence signals of sensors that are spatially adjacent to a sensor associated with a low-confidence signal, the discernible beats on the high-confidence signals corresponding to a non-discernible beat on the low-confidence signal; computing, using an activation onset module of the computing device, a time vector between at least two activation onsets associated with the identified discernible beats on the high-confidence signals through the non-discernible beat on the low-confidence signal; defining, using the activation onset module, a time interval associated with the non-discernible beat about a region of the low-confidence signal where the computed time vector crosses the non-discernible beat, the time interval indicating how early the non-discernible beat is able to activate based on a previous beat on the low-confidence signal that has a selected or determined activation onset and how late the non-discernible beat is able to terminate based on at least one predetermined property; and assigning, using the activation onset module, the non-discernible beat an activation onset during the defined time interval that is closest to the computed time vector. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
