    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for detecting a rotor at a location of a heart that experiences cardiac fibrillation. This generally involves obtaining a plurality of bipolar EGMs for a recording duration using a circular bipolar electrode array positioned at the location of the heart; detecting a dominant periodicity Cycle Length (CL) and identifying periodic activations for each bipolar EGM associated with the dominant periodicity CL; tracking the identified periodic activations across each bipolar EGM to define rotational activations and determining when a path taken by the tracked rotational activations corresponds to a rotational activation pattern of a rotor; and detecting the rotor when a number and completeness of the tracked rotational activations meet predefined rotor criteria.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for a system, method, and device for identifying focal source locations of electrophysiological activity in an organ. The system, method and device may also be used to guide catheter ablation of the organ. An electrogram signal can be obtained from a location in the organ, and it can be determined if the electrogram is periodic and, if so, the corresponding periodicity cycle length. A plurality of peaks associated with the cycle length can be identified. The location can be identified as a focal source location when the periodicity cycle length and the plurality of peaks have focal source characteristics. Methods are also described for identifying a direction of wave propagation and identifying multiple periodicities within an electrogram signal.
