Method and system to identify motion data associated with consistent electrical and mechanical behavior for a region of interest
First Claim
1. A method to identify motion data associated with consistent electrical and mechanical behavior for a region of interest of the heart, the method comprising:
- acquiring, via an electrical sensor, electrical cardiac signals indicative of physiologic behavior of at least a portion of the heart over a plurality of cardiac cycles;
acquiring, via a motion sensor, motion data indicative of mechanical behavior of a motion sensor over the plurality of cardiac cycles to form a motion data collection, the motion data indicative of mechanical behavior of the region of interest when the motion sensor is in contact with the region of interest;
designating, via a processor, ectopic beats or arrhythmias within the cardiac cycles based on the electrical cardiac signals, the ectopic beats producing electrically inconsistent (EI) data within the motion data collection;
identifying, via the processor, mechanically inconsistent (MI) data within the motion data collection based on irregular changes in the motion data; and
removing, via the processor, at least a portion of the EI and MI data from the motion data collection based on the designating and identifying operations to form an electrically/mechanically consistent (EMC) motion data collection.

Abstract
Methods and system are provided that identify motion data associated with consistent electrical and mechanical behavior for a region of interest of the heart. The methods and systems acquire electrical cardiac signals indicative of physiologic behavior of at least a portion of the heart over a plurality of cardiac cycles. The methods and systems acquires motion data indicative of mechanical behavior of a motion sensor over the plurality of cardiac cycles to form a motion data collection, the motion data indicative of mechanical behavior of the region of interest when the motion sensor is in contact with the region of interest. The designating ectopic beats within the cardiac cycles may be based on the electrical cardiac signals, the ectopic beats producing electrically inconsistent (EI) data within the motion data collection. The methods and systems identify mechanically inconsistent (MI) data within the motion data collection based on irregular changes in the motion data. The methods and systems remove at least a portion of the EI and MI data from the motion data collection based on the designating and identifying operations to form an electrically/mechanically consistent (EMC) motion data collection.
