Abstract
Simulations are excellent tools for assessing new therapeutic strategies and are often conducted before implementing new therapy options in a clinical practice. For patients suffering from a heart arrhythmia, the main source of information comes from an intracardiac catheter. One of the common catheters is a Lasso multi-pole diagnostic catheter, which is a catheter that has 20 electrodes in a circular pattern. In this paper, we developed algorithm and simulation software that allows the users to place a multi-pole catheter on the atrial endocardial surface and record electrograms. In 3D atrial tissue, the plane of principal curvature is determined using eigenvectors of catheter vertices, from where the normals are projected and registered to the surface using 3D geodesic distance. This tool provides a platform for performing customized virtual cardiac experiments.Entities:
