Appl. No.:

8/132479

Inventors:

David E. Acker - Setauket NY
Ian McNulty - Naperville IL
Robert C. Pacheco - New York NY
Wayne Grandner - Port Jefferson Station NY

Assignee:

Biosense, Inc. - Orangeburg NY

International Classification:

A61B 505

US Classification:

1286531

Abstract:

A magnetic position and orientation determining system uses magnetic fields, desirably including uniform fields from Helmholtz coils positioned on opposite sides of a sensing volume and gradient fields generated by the same coils. By monitoring field components detected at the probes during application of these fields, the position and orientation of the probe in the field can be deduced. A representation of the probe can be superposed on a separately acquired image of the subject to show the position and orientation of the probe with respect to the subject.

Abstract:

Various embodiments include methods of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Various embodiments may include: generating, using a processing unit, a cardiac activation map including a three-dimensional (3D) heart model of the heart that shows coronary vessels of a patient and shows the propagation of electrical signals through the 3D heart model; determining the location of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) based on the cardiac activation map; implanting a first pacing device and a second pacing device into the patient; stimulating the His Bundle of the heart using the first pacing device; and stimulating the left ventricle (LV) of the heart at a position downstream of the LBBB with respect to a direction of electrical conduction through the LV using the second pacing device after stimulating the His bundle.
