Electrophysiologists diagnose and treat irregular heart rhythms by introducing catheters into heart chambers and touching chamber walls to record electrical activity in selected locations. Endocardial Therapeutics has created a laboratory system which gives doctors a three dimensional, animated view of the electrical patterns on the entire inter-surface of a heart chamber. This mapping system will allow physicians to more rapidly and accurately diagnose and treat heart ailments which kill over 5,000,000 Americans each year. The system is comprised of an Indigo 2 Extreme, a custom coprocessor board, a front-end system to collect patient signals and custom software.
