MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202321080595 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on Nov. 28, 2023, for 'a method and system for source localization of atrial fibrillation.'
Inventor(s) include Mazumder, Oishee; and Sinha, Aniruddha.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Conventionally, invasive techniques are used to localize Atrial Fibrillation sources, but they are inconvenient, technically complex, and expensive. Non-invasive methods such as ECGI are prone to errors due to small volume and wall thickness of the atria. Thus, embodiments of present disclosure provide a method and system for source localization of AF utilizing a modified dominant frequency approach and atrium depolarization time. The method initially obtains heart and torso scan images and extracts atrial and torso meshes from them. Then, Body Surface Potential (BSP) signals are sampled from the atrial meshes and torso meshes. Cardiac potential is reconstructed from BSP. Further, AF-DF probability and probable rotor regions are determined from the cardiac potential. AF sources are then localized by combining AF-DF probability and probable rotor regions. Thus, the disclosed method which is non-invasive can be used for patient stratification for AF treatment plan, personalize procedure planning, and reduce ablation time."
