ABSTRACT:
A system and related methods for assisting a user approximate the location of a fibrillation driver within a heart. The system includes an electrode and a computer, which is coupled to the electrode. The electrode is configured to sense a signal emitted from a location in the heart. The computer is configured to calculate a standard deviation of cycle length value for the signal. The user can approximate the location of the fibrillation driver based on a comparison of the standard deviation of cycle length value to other standard deviation of cycle length values that previously have been calculated by the computer for signals emitted from other locations in the heart.
