Both diagnostic mapping and ablation procedures place high demands on the proper alignment of the catheter electrode with the intracavitary tissue. Furthermore, measuring the alignment of the catheter electrode with the tissue serves as a crucial indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment.

[0003] Currently, most catheters with contact detection capabilities on the market utilize pressure sensors placed at the catheter tip. This limited installation location means that pressure sensors can only be installed at the tip, effectively detecting contact at the tip, but not at the rest of the electrodes.

[0053] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with test examples and specific embodiments. However, this should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments, and all technologies implemented based on the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] 1. System Description

[0056] like Figure 1A As shown, 100 is a catheter electrode tissue contact recognition system. 101 is the patient, 102 is a reference applied to the body surface, 103 is the distal end of the intracardiac catheter, 104 is the catheter body, and 105 is the catheter handle. 106 is a magnetic field generator, 107 is a body surface reference hub, and 108, 109, and 110 are connecting cables. 111 is a display screen, and 112 is a preset contact index setter. When the contact index is greater than the preset contact index set by the preset contact index setter 112, it is considered to be stable and effective contact; otherwise, it is considered to be intermittent contact or not contacted. 113 is a schematic diagram of the contact degree of each electrode, 114 is the number of each side of the basket catheter, 115 is the number of the catheter electrode on each side, and 116 is a schematic diagram of the contact degree of each catheter electrode. 113 and 116 use different grayscale or color to mark the degree of contact between each electrode and tissue, which has clear and eye-catching characteristics.

This means that when the adhesion index is counted, if the adhesion label is true for more than or equal to 7 times within a period of time, it is considered to be stable and effective adhesion, and the effective value of the output ablation energy is high; otherwise, it is considered to be intermittent adhesion or no adhesion, and the effective value of the output ablation energy is low or no. Furthermore, it can also be set to count the adhesion index. If the adhesion label is true for more than or equal to 7 times within a period of time, it is considered to be stable and effective adhesion, and ablation energy can be output; otherwise, it is considered to be intermittent adhesion or no adhesion, and ablation energy cannot be output.

[0058] 117 is a magnetic field positioning module, which is responsible for the reference of the body surface and the positioning of the electrodes of the catheter in the cardiac cavity. 118 is a data acquisition module, which has two acquisition methods. One is direct measurement, which directly acquires the impedance between adjacent electrodes, such as Figure 4 As shown in the lower right part; the other is indirect measurement, which collects the impedance between each electrode of the catheter relative to the body surface reference, and then indirectly obtains the impedance between each electrode of the basket relative to the reference electrode through calculation, such as Figure 4 Shown in the upper left part.

[0059] Figure 4 400 is a schematic diagram of the electrode impedance acquisition principle. Figure 4 The lower right part is the direct measurement of the impedance between the electrodes on each side of the basket and the reference electrode of the basket. Figure 4 The upper left part is the indirect measurement of the impedance between the toroidal electrode and the reference electrode.

[0061] like Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, 200 is a schematic diagram of a catheter, primarily comprising a handle 201, a push rod 202, a body 203, and a distal end 204 with electrodes mounted thereon. The distal end of the catheter includes a bendable section 205, the curvature of which can be controlled by the push rod 202. The catheter tip has a basket-like design, comprising five basket edges 208 and a central, stretchable moving member 209 that expands the basket. Abutment electrodes 207 are positioned on the basket edges, and a reference electrode 206 is positioned on the moving member 209.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, 400 is a schematic diagram of the system impedance acquisition method, 401 is the electrode installed on the edge of the basket, 402 is the reference electrode, and the system acquires the impedance between the reference electrodes. , the impedance between adjacent electrodes on the edge of the basket

[0066] 5. System process description

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, 500 is a diagram of the system's catheter-electrode-tissue contact detection process. 502 The system acquires catheter spatial position data, obtaining the spatial coordinate positions of each catheter electrode; 504 The system collects impedance data, obtaining impedance data between adjacent electrodes; 506 The target area is divided into spatial cells; 508 The spatial impedance model is established; 510 The model contact detection application process is shown. 510 Outputs the contact index for each electrode and tissue, which is displayed as an image on screen 111 at 512, demonstrating the real-time contact status between the catheter and cardiac tissue.

[0068] 6. Description of the sticking detection process

[0069] The solution of the electrode-tissue proximity indication is divided into a modeling process and a model application process. In the target area cell division process, the cardiac cavity area cell division is realized. The initial position of the catheter can be selected as the center of the target area, and the X, Y, and Z axes are distributed outward for a certain distance, such as 350 mm, as the target area. The cells are set according to the positioning accuracy, such as 10 (mm) x 10 (mm) x 10 (mm). You can also set a variety of cell sizes according to actual conditions. The cell size represents the resolution of the system's proximity detection. The smaller the cell size, the higher the resolution. The modeling process realizes the cell division of the cardiac cavity area and the recording and description of the impedance information in the corresponding area of ​​each cell. In the model application process, the electrode-tissue proximity index is solved based on the record and description of the unit to which the electrode belongs. The output adhesion index of each electrode is displayed on the screen 111 in the form of an image.

[0070] (1) Description of target area cell division

[0071] like Figure 6As shown, 602 is the patient's heart, the target area is part of the space inside the heart, 604 is the cell division of the target area, and 606 is a cell description diagram. The cell is a smaller rectangular space that further divides the target area. The initial position of the catheter is selected as the model center for modeling the target area. The three axial distributions of X, Y, and Z are expanded outward by a certain distance, such as 350mm, as the target area. The cell is set according to the positioning accuracy, such as 10 (mm) x10 (mm) x10 (mm). You can also set a variety of cell sizes according to actual conditions. The cell size represents the resolution of the system's close detection. The smaller the cell size, the higher the resolution. Refer to the 606 cell to represent the three-dimensional space range described as , k is the cell index, and data is input at time t , the cell index is solved as follows:

[0072]

[0073] in, Represents the size of the cell in the X, Y, and Z directions respectively; The number of times the target area is divided in the X, Y, and Z directions respectively, k is the cell index number, and the input data at time t is , is the spatial position coordinate of the electrode, is the spatial coordinate of the electrode corresponding to the reference point, is the impedance of the electrode relative to the reference point, O ( ) are the coordinates of the origin of the three-dimensional space.

[0074] (2) Description of the modeling process

[0075] like Figure 7 As shown, 700 is the modeling process for close proximity detection. 702 inputs electrode position and impedance information. Impedance information includes the impedance between the electrode itself and adjacent electrodes, as well as the impedance between reference electrode pairs. 704 deletes unreasonable data. This deletion is related to the sampling frequency. For example, when a catheter moves rapidly, the sampling frequency is too low relative to the speed of the catheter. The collected data cannot reflect the trajectory of the catheter's movement in real time, resulting in inaccurate coordinate positions and inaccurate positioning cells. Therefore, these data need to be deleted. As a preferred solution, if the spatial distance between the current and subsequent acquisition points is greater than 5 mm, they are deleted. 706 calculates the cell index corresponding to the electrode position. 708 determines whether historical data is already stored in the indexed cell. If not, the impedance information of each electrode is processed as described in 710 and set as the base value in the cell. Common processing methods include averaging or weighted averaging. 712 determines whether the number of historical data stored in the cell exceeds a preset number. If so, the oldest data is removed as in 714 and the latest impedance information is stored as in 716. The model is then updated at 718.

[0076] The cell index of the electrode described in 706 in the spatial impedance model is solved as follows: the three-dimensional space range represented by the cell is described as , k is the cell index, and data is input at time t , the cell index is solved as follows:

[0077]

[0078] in, Represents the size of the cell in the X, Y, and Z directions respectively; The number of times the target area is divided in the X, Y, and Z directions respectively, k is the cell index number, and the input data at time t is , is the spatial position coordinate of the electrode, is the spatial coordinate of the electrode corresponding to the reference point, is the impedance of the electrode relative to the reference point, O ( ) are the coordinates of the origin of the three-dimensional space.

[0079] When there is no historical data in the cell described by 710, the method for comprehensive analysis of the impedance information of all catheter electrodes is described as follows:

[0080] One method is averaging, where the electrode impedance It is expressed as follows:

[0081]

[0082] Another method is weighted average processing, electrode impedance It is expressed as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Where i is the electrode number, nR is the number of impedances collected by the electrode, is the distance between the kth electrode and the reference electrode.

[0085] 716 describes storing the latest data in the cell data set. The data set stored in the cell is represented as ,in is the impedance of the i-th pair of adjacent electrodes on the edge of the basket at time t, is the impedance between the reference electrodes at time t, Recorded in historical data sets The minimum value of Recorded in historical data sets The maximum value of is the reference baseline value.

[0086] The update model described in 718 refers to updating the relevant discrimination parameters of the electrode and tissue adhesion of the cell where the catheter electrode is located, mainly including , the specific method is described as follows:

[0087] Parameter update: If the impedance between the reference electrodes at time t is equal to its baseline value If the comparison difference is greater than the preset value, the difference cannot be ignored. If the difference is less than or equal to the preset value, the difference can be considered non-existent and set to zero. Update the difference between the parameters before and after It is said that based on experience, the preset value is generally set to 10% of the difference in impedance between when the electrode is in contact with the tissue and when it is not. This value is close to the impedance change caused by changes in blood concentration such as saline drip in the patient during surgery.

[0088] Specifically, The formula for parameter update is:

[0089]

[0090] The formula for parameter update is:

[0091]

[0092] After the parameters are updated at time t, if the difference is less than or equal to the preset value, the difference can be considered non-existent. Zero processing:

[0093]

[0094] (3) Model application description

[0095] like Figure 8 As shown, 802 inputs the electrode position and impedance information, 804 solves the index of the model table corresponding to the current electrode position, 806 applies the discrimination information of the index cell to the impedance collected by the current electrode, and 808 solves the adhesion index. At time t for electrode i, adhesion discrimination is described as follows:

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] if Greater than When t is reached, it is recognized that electrode i is in contact at time t, which is recorded as Otherwise, it is identified as not attached and recorded as . and Have a corresponding relationship, hour, .in, is the standard deviation of the impedance data set within the cell.

[0099] At time t, the adhesion index of electrode i is described as follows:

[0100]

[0101] in, is the time distance pushed forward from time t. The meaning of the expression is the stability of the adhesion at time t and over a period of time. When the value is greater than the preset snap index set by the preset snap index setter 112 , it is considered to be stable and effective snapping; otherwise, it is considered to be intermittent snapping or no snapping.

[0102] 512 updates and displays the contact index of each electrode on screen 111, and updates the contact degree indication information corresponding to each electrode at 113 and 115, visually presenting the contact degree information. Information on whether the electrodes are effectively contacted can serve as an important basis for modeling, mapping, and ablation of the cardiac electrophysiological 3D mapping system.

[0103] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, from all points of view, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claim to which they relate.

[0104] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, the implementation methods do not only include an independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in the embodiments can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
