System and method for reconstructing cardiac activation information
First Claim
1. A method of reconstructing cardiac activation information, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a computing device, an analysis cardiac signal and a reference cardiac signal obtained from a patient;
processing, by the computing device, the analysis cardiac signal and the reference cardiac signal to determine a first point of change in the analysis cardiac signal at which a derivative of the analysis cardiac signal diverges with respect to a derivative of the reference cardiac signal, the derivative of the analysis cardiac signal and the derivative of the reference cardiac signal being one of zero, first, and second order derivative;
processing, by the computing device, the analysis cardiac signal and the reference cardiac signal to determine a second point of change in the analysis cardiac signal at which a different derivative of the analysis cardiac signal diverges with respect to a different derivative of the reference cardiac signal, the different derivative of the analysis cardiac signal and the different derivative of the reference cardiac signal being a different one of zero, first, and second order derivative; and
assigning an activation onset time in the analysis cardiac signal at a point based on a mathematical association of one or a combination of the first point of change and the second point of change to define a cardiac activation indicating a beat in the analysis cardiac signal.

Abstract
In a system and method for reconstructing cardiac activation information, an analysis cardiac signal and a reference cardiac signal are accessed and processed to determine a first point of change in the analysis cardiac signal at which a derivative of the analysis cardiac signal diverges with respect to a derivative of the reference cardiac signal. The signals are processed to determine a second point of change in the analysis cardiac signal at which a different derivative of the analysis cardiac signal with respect to a different derivative of the reference cardiac signal. An activation onset time is assigned in the analysis cardiac signal at a point based on a mathematical association among the first point of change and the second point of change to define cardiac activation indicating a beat in the analysis cardiac signal.
