Non-invasive imaging of cardiac electrical activity
A novel method for noninvasive cardiac imaging that localizes the origins of cardiac arrhythmias.
Technology No. 20130260
IP Status: US Patent Issued; Issued Patent No. 9,585,579
Pilot studies performed in human patients.
Applications
- Localizing and imaging cardiac electrical activity
- Guiding cardiac ablation treatment of arrhythmias
Technology Overview
Cardiac arrhythmias are common and serious heart conditions that can lead to stroke or heart failure if left untreated. Current clinical mapping methods rely on invasive catheter procedures that are limited in spatial resolution and carry procedural risks. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a noninvasive imaging system that reconstructs cardiac current density and identifies arrhythmia sources using body surface electrical signals and spectral analysis. These techniques enable safe, high-resolution mapping of cardiac activity, offering a powerful alternative for diagnosis and treatment planning.
