Atrial Fibrillation Electrogram Activation Detection Algorithm by Cycle Length Iteration
NU 2011-162 Inventor Jason Ng Abstract A Northwestern inventor has developed a novel method to analyze contact electrograms during atrial fibrillation. The invention is a new iterative threshold algorithm that detects atrial complexes based on the assumption that AF cycle lengths have a distribution where mean and median cycle lengths are approximately...
