This application relates to a head electrode assembly and an ablation catheter. The head electrode assembly is disposed at the distal end of the catheter assembly of the ablation catheter. The head electrode assembly includes a tip, a pressure sensor, and a limiting member. The tip has a receiving space extending axially to the proximal end face of the tip, and the tip is used to release ablation energy. The pressure sensor is located in the receiving space and at least axially abuts against the tip to detect external pressure on the tip. The pressure sensor is configured to sense at least one of the axial pressure and radial pressure on the tip. The limiting member is disposed at the tip, and the limiting member and the tip are configured to at least jointly limit the axial displacement of the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor can sense the contact pressure between the tip and the tissue, reducing the occurrence of excessive contact force between the tip and the tissue, thereby reducing tissue damage and lowering the risk of damage to the atrial wall and adjacent tissues; it also helps to reduce the occurrence of insufficient contact force between the tip and the tissue, leading to poor contact between the tip and the tissue.

A method of calculating an atrial wall thickness through a device including a processor and a memory according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include (a) receiving image data for a patient's atrium as input data, (b) calculating endocardial and epicardial borders corresponding to starting and ending points of the atrial wall thickness from the received input data, and (c) calculating the patient's atrial wall thickness using the calculated endocardial and epicardial borders, wherein the image data for the patient's atrium received in the step (a) is a plurality of mask label image data for respective tomographic images of the patient's atrium acquired from computed tomography (CT) scans for the patient's atrium, and the mask label image data is data in which one or more pixels corresponding to an atrial wall region including the patient's atrium and an inner region of the atrium, other regions within the patient's heart disposed around the patient's atrium, and regions other than the patient's heart, respectively, are assigned with labels having different numerals for the respective regions.

A method and apparatus for treatment of hypertension and heart failure by increasing vagal tone and secretion of endogenous atrial hormones by excitory pacing of the heart atria. Atrial pacing is done during the ventricular refractory period resulting in atrial contraction against closed AV valves, and atrial contraction rate that is higher than the ventricular contraction rate. Pacing results in the increased atrial wall stress. An implantable device is used to monitor ECG and pace the atria in a nonphysiologic manner.

The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an auxiliary device for atrial ablation treatment, which comprises a retractable and expandable support body, the support body is used for opening the atrium after being expanded in the atrium, and the expanded support body is of a hollow structure and is attached to the wall of the atrium. The hollow-out area of the supporting body provides space for atrial ablation treatment operation. After intervention, the support main body can expand in the atrium to open the atrium and limit the contraction and deformation of the atrium, so that the difficulty of determining an ablation point in the atrial ablation treatment can be reduced, an operator can place an ablation guide wire for the atrial ablation treatment at a required position more accurately and quickly, and the operation time of the atrial ablation treatment is shortened; meanwhile, in the working process of the ablation guide wire, the atrial wall cannot generate large relative displacement due to the existence of the supporting main body, so that accurate treatment and energy transfer can be achieved, a more ideal treatment effect is achieved, the operation difficulty of an operator is reduced, and the operation effect is improved.

This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more particularly to an auxiliary device for atrial ablation therapy. The device includes a contractile and expandable support body, which expands within the atrium to open it. The expanded support body has a hollow structure and adheres to the atrial wall, providing space for the atrial ablation procedure. After intervention, the support body expands within the atrium to open it, limiting atrial contraction and deformation. This reduces the difficulty of determining the ablation point during atrial ablation, allowing the operator to place the ablation guidewire more accurately and quickly, shortening the procedure time. Simultaneously, during the ablation guidewire's operation, the atrial wall does not undergo significant relative displacement due to the support body, thus achieving precise treatment and energy transfer, resulting in more ideal therapeutic effects, reduced operator difficulty, and improved surgical outcomes.
