- the system of the present invention is used for mapping the electrical activity of the interior surface of a heart chamber 80.
- the mapping catheter assembly 14 includes a flexible lead body 72 connected to a deformable distal lead body 74.
- the deformable distal lead body 74 can be formed into a stable space filling geometric shape after introduction into the heart cavity 80.
- This deformable distal lead body 74 includes an electrode array 19 defining a number of electrode sites.
- the mapping catheter assembly 14 also includes a reference electrode preferably placed on a reference catheter 16 which passes through a central lumen 82 formed in the flexible lead body 72 and the distal lead body 74.
- the reference catheter assembly 16 has a distal tip electrode assembly 24 which may be used to probe the heart wall.
- This distal contact electrode assembly 24 provides a surface electrical reference for calibration.
- the physical length of the reference catheter 16 taken with the position of the electrode array 19 together provide a reference which may be used to calibrate the electrode array 19.
- the reference catheter 16 also stabilizes the position of the
- catheter assembly which can be readily positioned within the heart and used to acquire highly accurate
- the mapping catheter assembly 14 is coupled to interface apparatus 22 which contains a signal generator 32, and voltage acquisition apparatus 30.
- the signal generator 32 is used to measure the volumetric shape of the heart chamber through impedance plethysmography. This signal generator is also used to determine the position of the reference electrode within the heart chamber. Other techniques for characterizing the shape of the heart chamber may be substituted.
- the signals from all the electrode sites on the electrode array 19 are presented to the voltage
- acquisition apparatus 30 to derive a three-dimensional, instantaneous high resolution map of the electrical activity of the entire heart chamber volume.
- This map is calibrated by the use of a surface electrode 24. The calibration is both electrical and dimensional.
- the two-dimensional map is a slice of the heart wall and represents the subsurface electrical activity in the heart wall itself.
- the true three-dimensional map also avoids the problem of spatial averaging and generates an instantaneous, high resolution map of the electrical activity of the entire volume of the heart chamber and the endocardial surface. This three-dimensional map is an order of magnitude more accurate and precise than previously obtained interpolation maps. The two-dimensional map of the intramural slice is unavailable using prior techniques.
- Figure 1 shows the mapping system 10 coupled to a patient's heart 12.
- the mapping catheter assembly 14 is inserted into a heart chamber and the reference
- electrode 24 touches the endocardial surface 18.
- the preferred array catheter 20 carries at least twenty-four individual electrode sites which are coupled to the interface apparatus 22.
- the preferred reference catheter 16 is a coaxial extension of the array catheter 20.
- This reference catheter 16 includes a surface electrode site 24 and a subsurface electrode site 26 both of which are coupled to the interface apparatus 22. It should be understood that the electrode site 24 can be located directly on the array catheter.
- the array catheter 20 may be expanded into a known geometric shape, preferably spherical. Resolution is enhanced by the use of larger sized spherical shapes.
- a balloon 77 or the like should be incorporated under the electrode array 19 to exclude blood from the interior of the electrode array 19. The spherical shape and exclusion of blood are not required for operability but they materially reduce the complexity of the calculations required to generate the map displays.
- reference catheter 16 serves several purposes. First they stabilize and maintain the array 19 at a known distance from a reference point on the endocardial surface 18 for calibration of the shape and volume calculations. Secondly, the surface electrode 24 is used to calibrate the electrical activity measurements of the endocardial surface 18 provided by the electrode array 19.
- the interface apparatus 22 includes a switching assembly 28 which is a multiplexor to sequentially couple the various electrode sites to the voltage acquisition apparatus 30, and the signal generator apparatus 32. These devices are under the control of a computer 34.
- the voltage acquisition apparatus 30 is preferably a 12 bit A to D convertor.
- a signal ⁇ generator 32 is also supplied to generate low current pulses for determining the volume and shape of the endocardial chamber using impedance plethysmography, and for determining the location of the reference catheter .
- the computer 34 is preferably of the "workstation” class to provide sufficient processing power to operate in essentially real time. This computer operates under the control of software set forth in the flow charts of Figures 12A and 12B. Catheter Description
- Figure 2 shows a portion of the mapping catheter assembly 14 placed into a heart chamber 80.
- the mapping catheter assembly 14 includes a reference catheter 16 and an array catheter 20.
- the array catheter 20 has been expanded through the use of a stylet 92 to place the electrode array 19 into a stable and
- the reference catheter 16 has been passed through the lumen 82 of the array catheter 20 to place a distal tip electrode assembly 24 into position against an endocardial surface.
- the reference catheter 16 provides a mechanical location reference for the position of the electrode array 19, and the tip electrode assembly 24 provides an electrical potential reference at or in the heart wall for the mapping process.
- the principle objective of the preferred form of the catheter system is to reliably place a known collection of electrode sites away from the endocardial surface, and one or more electrode sites into contact with the endocardium.
- the array catheter is an
- the array catheter itself can be designed to mechanically position one or more electrode sites on the endocardial surface.
- the reference catheter is a preferred
- structure for carrying one or more electrode sites may be used to place these electrode sites into direct contact with the endocardial surface.
- the reference catheter could be replaced with a fixed extension of the array catheter and used to push a segment of the array onto the endocardial surface.
- the geometric shape of the spherical array maintains the other electrodes out of contact with the endocardial surface.
- Figure 3 shows the preferred construction of the mapping catheter assembly 14 in exaggerated scale to clarify details of construction.
- the array catheter 20 includes a flexible lead body 72 coupled to a deformable lead body 74.
- the deformable lead body 74 is preferably a braid 75 of insulated wires, several of which are shown as wire 93, wire 94, wire 95 and wire 96.
- An individual wire such as 93 may be traced in the figure from the electrical connection 79 at the proximal end 81 of the flexible lead body 72 through the flexible lead body 72 to the distal braid ring 83 located on the deformable lead body 74.
- the insulation has been selectively removed from this wire 93 to form a
- Each of the several wires in the braid 75 may potentially be used to form an electrode site.
- Preferably all of the typically twenty- four to one-hundred-twenty-eight wires in the braid 75 are used to form electrode sites.
- Wires not used as electrode sites provide mechanical support for the electrode array 19.
- the electrode sites will be located equidistant from a center defined at the center of the spherical array. Other geometrical shapes are usable including ellipsoidal and the like.
- the proximal connector 79 can have a suitable electrical connection for the distal tip electrode assembly 24 of the reference catheter 16 or the reference catheter 16 can use a separate connector.
- the distance 90 between the electrode array 19 and the distal tip assembly 24 electrode can preferentially be varied by sliding the reference catheter through the lumen 82, as shown by motion arrow 85. This distance 90 may be "read" at the proximal end 81 by noting the relative position of the end of the lead body 72 and the proximal end of the reference catheter 16.
- Figure 4 is a view of the mapping catheter with the deformable lead body 74 in the collapsed position.
- Figure 5 shows that the wire stylet 92 is attached to the distal braid ring 83 and positioned in the lumen 82. Traction applied to the distal braid ring 83 by relative motion of the stylet 92 with respect to the lead body 72 causes the braid 75 to change shape. In general, traction causes the braid 75 to move from a generally cylindrical form seen in Figure 4 to a
- the preferred technique is to provide a stylet 92 which can be used to pull the braid 75 which will deploy the electrode array 19.
- other techniques may be used as well including an optional balloon 77 shown as in Figure 3 , which could be inflated under the electrode array 19 thereby causing the spherical
- Modification of the braid 75 can be used to control the final shape of the array 19.
- an asymmetrical braid pattern using differing diameter wires within the braid can be used to control the final shape of the array 19.
- the most important property of the geometric shape is that it spaces the electrode sites relatively far apart and that the shape be predictable with a high degree of accuracy.
- Figure 6 shows a first embodiment of the reference catheter 16 where the distal electrode assembly 24 is blunt and may be used to make a surface measurement against the endocardial surface.
- the wire 97 ( Figure 2) communicates to the distal tip electrode and this wire may be terminated in the connector 79.
- FIG 8 shows an alternate reference catheter 98 which is preferred if both surface and/or subsurface measurements of the potential proximate the endocardial surface are desired.
- This catheter 98 includes both a reference electrode 24 and an extendable intramural electrode body 100.
- Figure 9 illustrates the preferred use of an intramural electrode stylet 101 to retract the sharp intramural electrode body 100 into the reference catheter lead body 102. Motion of the intramural electrode body 100 into the lead body 102 is shown by arrow 103.
- Figure 10 shows the location of the intramural electrode site 26 on the electrode body 100. It is desirable to use a relatively small electrode site to permit localization of the intramural electrical activity.
- the array catheter 20 may be made by any of a variety of techniques.
- the braid 75 of insulated wires 93,94,95,96 can be encapsulated into a plastic material to form the flexible lead body 72.
- This plastic material can be any of various biocompatible compounds with polyurethane being preferred.
- the encapsulation material for the flexible lead body 72 is selected in part for its ability to be selectively removed to expose the
- insulated braid 75 to form the deformable lead body 74.
- the use of a braid 75 rather than a spiral wrap, axial wrap, or other configuration inherently strengthens and supports the electrodes due to the interlocking nature of the braid.
- This interlocking braid 75 also insures that, as the electrode array 19 deploys, it does so with predictable dimensional control.
- This braid 75
- structure also supports the array catheter 20 and provides for the structural integrity of the array catheter 20 where the encapsulating material has been removed.
- the encapsulating material can be removed by known techniques. In a preferred embodiment this removal is accomplished by mechanical removal of the encapsulating material by grinding or the like. It is also possible to remove the material with a solvent. If the encapsulating material is polyurethane, tetrahydrofuran or cyclohexanone can be used as a solvent. In some embodiments the encapsulating material is not removed from the extreme distal tip to provide enhanced mechanical integrity forming a distal braid ring 83.
- the electrodes sites can be formed by removing the insulation over the conductor in selected areas. Known techniques would involve
- the electrode site can be created by removing insulation using standard means or by applying a higher voltage (eg. 5 KV) to break through the
- the illustrative method may be partitioned into nine steps as shown in Figure 12.
- the partitioning of the step-wise sequence is done as an aid to explaining the invention and other equivalent partitioning can be readily substituted without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the process begins.
- the illustrative process assumes that the electrode array assumes a known spherical shape within the heart chamber, and that there are at least twenty-four electrodes on the electrode array 19.
- This preferred method can be readily modified to accommodate unknown and non-reproducible, non- spherical shaped arrays.
- the location of each of these electrode sites on the array surface is known from the mechanical configuration of the displayed array.
- a method of determining the location of the electrode array 19 and the location of the heart chamber walls must be available. This geometry measurement (options include ultrasound or impedance plethysmography) is performed in step 41.
- reference catheter 16 is extended to the chamber wall 18 then its length can be used to calibrate the geometry measurements since the calculated distance can be compared to the reference catheter length.
- the geometry calculations are forced to converge on the known spacing represented by the physical dimensions of the catheters.
- reference electrode 24 is positioned on array catheter 20 and therefore its position would be known.
- step 42 the signals from all the electrode sites in the electrode array 19 are sampled by the A to D converter in the voltage acquisition apparatus 30.
- step 43 the known locations of all the electrodes on the
- Electrode array 19 and the measured potentials at each electrode are used to create the intermediate parameters of the three-dimensional electrical activity map.
- This step uses field theory calculations presented in greater detail below.
- the components which are created in this step ( ⁇ lm ) are stored in a digital file for later use in following steps.
- the question is asked whether the reference catheter 16 is in a calibrating position. In the calibrating position, the reference catheter 16 projects directly out of the array catheter 20
- step 45, 46 or 47 establishing a length from the electrode array 19 which is a known distance from the wall 18 of the heart chamber. This calibration position may be confirmed using fluoroscopy. If the catheter is not in position then the process moves to step 45, 46 or 47.
- step 44 the exact position of the reference catheter 16 is determined using the distance and orientation data from step 41.
- the available information includes position in space of the reference catheter 16 on the chamber wall 18 and the intermediate electrical activity map parameters of the three-dimensional map.
- the expected electrical activity at the reference catheter surface electrode site 24 is determined.
- the actual potential at this site 24 is measured from the reference catheter by the A to D converter in the voltage acquisition apparatus 30.
- a scale factor is adjusted which modifies the map calculations to achieve calibrated results. This adjustment factor is used in all subsequent calculations of electrical activity.
- the system polls the user to display a three-dimensional map. If such a map is desired then a method of displaying the electrical activity is first determined. Second an area, or volume is defined for which the electrical activity is to be viewed. Third a level of resolution is defined for this view of the electrical activity. Finally the electrical activity at all of the points defined by the display option, volume and resolution are computed using the field theory calculations and the adjustment factor mentioned above. These calculated values are then used to display the data on computer 34.
- Figure 7 is a representative display 71 of the output of process 47.
- the heart is displayed as a wire grid 36.
- the iso-potential map for example is overlaid on the wire grid 36 and several iso-potential lines such as iso-potential or isochrone line 38 are shown on the drawing.
- the color of the wire grid 36 and the iso-potential or isochrone lines will be different to aid interpretation.
- the potentials may preferably be presented by a
- mapping catheter assembly will not be shown.
- step 45 a subthreshold pulse is supplied to the surface electrode 24 of the reference catheter 16 by the signal generator 32.
- the voltages are measured at all of the electrode sites on the electrode array 19 by the voltage acquisition apparatus 30.
- One problem in locating the position of the subthreshold pulse is that other electrical activity may render it difficult to detect.
- step 55 starts by subtracting the electrical activity which was just measured in step 44 from the measurements in step 54.
- the location of the tip of the reference catheter 16 i.e. surface electrode 24
- step 45 is found by first performing the same field theory calculations of step 45 on this derived electrode data.
- four positions in space are defined which are positioned near the heart chamber walls.
- the potentials at these sites are calculated using the three-dimensional electrical activity map. These potentials are then used to triangulate, and thus determine, the position of the subthreshold pulse at the surface electrode 24 of the reference catheter 16. If more accurate localization is desired then four more points which are much closer to the surface electrode 24 can be defined and the
- triangulation can be performed again. This procedure for locating the tip of the reference catheter 16 can be performed whether the surface electrode 24 is touching the surface or is located in the blood volume and is not in contact with the endocardial surface.
- the reference catheter's position in space can be displayed by superimposing it on the map of electrical activity created in step 47.
- An example of such a display 71 is presented in Figure 7.
- step 46 the surface electrode 24 is in a known position on the endocardial surface 18 of the heart chamber which is proper for determining the electrical activity of the tissue at that site. If the intramural or subsurface extension 100 which
- the user of the system extends the subsurface electrode 26 into the wall 18.
- the potentials from the surface electrode 24 and from the intramural subsurface 26 electrode are measured by voltage acquisition apparatus 30.
- a line 21 along the heart chamber wall which has the surface electrode 24 at its center is defined by the user of the system.
- the three-dimensional map parameters from step 43 are then used to compute a number of points along this line including the site of the reference catheter surface electrode 24. These calculations are adjusted to conform to the measured value at the reference catheter surface electrode 24.
- a slice of tissue is defined and bounded by this line 21 ( Figure 7) and the location of the intramural subsurface electrode 26 ( Figure 11) and computed positions such as 23 and 25.
- step 49 this map 27 of electrical activity within the two-dimensional slice is displayed as illustrated in Figure 11. In this instance the iso-potential line 17 indicates the
- the second algorithm is able to estimate intramural electrical activity by interpolating between points on the
- the preliminary process steps identify the position of the electrode array 19 consequently the field theory algorithm can be initialized with both contact and non-contact type data. This is one
- volume-conductor field theory it follows that all the electrodes within the solid angle view of every locus of electrical activity on the endocardial surface are integrated together to reconstruct the electrical activity at any given locus throughout the entire volume and upon the endocardium.
- catheter 20 produce a continuous map of the whole endocardium.
- the resolution of the map shown in Figure 7 is improved by at least a factor of ten over prior methods.
- Other improvements include: the ability to find the optimal global minimum instead of sub-optimal local minima; the elimination of blind spots between electrodes; the ability to detect abnormalities caused by multiple ectopic foci; the ability to
- myocardium and the ability to detect other types of electrical abnormalities including detection of ischemic or infarcted tissue.
- the algorithm for creating the 3D map of the cardiac volume takes advantage of the fact that
- myocardial electrical activity instantaneously creates potential fields by electrotonic conduction. Since action potentials propagate several orders of magnitude slower than the speed of electrotonic conduction, the potential field is quasi-static. Since there are no significant charge sources in the blood volume,
- LaPlace's equation can be solved numerically or analytically. Such numerical techniques include boundary element analysis and other interative
- Y ]m ( ⁇ , ⁇ ) is the spherical harmonic series made up of Legendre Polynomials.
- each ⁇ lm component is determined by integrating the potential at a given point with the spherical harmonic at that point with respect to the solid angle element subtended from the origin to that point. This is an important aspect of the 3D map; its accuracy in creating the 3D map is increased with increased numbers of electrodes in the array and with increased size of the spherical array. In practice it is necessary to compute the ⁇ lm components with the subscript 1 set to 4 or greater. These ⁇ components are stored in an 1 by m array for later determination of potentials anywhere in the volume within the endocardial walls.
- the angle ⁇ ranges from zero to ⁇ radians and ⁇ ranges from zero to 2 ⁇ radians.
- each point on the endocardial wall can now be computed by defining them as r, ⁇ , and ⁇ .
- the graphical representation of the electrical activity on the endocardial surface can be slowed down by 30 to 40 times to present a picture of the ventricular cavity within a time frame useful for human viewing.
- a geometric description of the heart structure is required in order for the algorithm to account for the inherent effect of spatial averaging within the medium (blood). Spatial averaging is a function of both the conductive nature of the medium as well as the physical dimensions of the medium.
- the intramural activation map of Figure 11 is estimated by interpolating between the accurately computed endocardial potentials at locations 23 and 25 ( Figure 7), and actual recorded endocardial value at the surface electrode 24 and an actual recorded intramural value at the subsurface electrode 26 site.
- This first-order estimation of the myocardial activation map assumes that the medium is homogenous and that the medium contains no charge sources. This myocardial activation estimation is limited by the fact that the myocardial medium is not homogeneous and that there are charge sources contained within the myocardial medium. If more than one intramural point was sampled the underlying map of intramural electrical activity could be improved by interpolating between the endocardial surface values and all the sample intramural values.
- V( x ) represents the potential at any desired point defined by the three-dimensional vector x and, V i
- k is an exponent that matches the physical behavior of the tissue medium.
