- This study discusses the relationship between phase singularity points and dominant frequency regions used as targets for atrial fibrillation catheter ablation. The methods were implemented in a novel software platform which has since been successfully used in a clinical study at Glenfield General Hospital (Prof. André Ng andre.ng@leicester.ac.uk, co-author) and which led to a successful follow-up grant to use rotors and dominant frequency areas to identify targets for ablation (British Heart Foundation, PG/18/33/33780, £245k). The methods have also been integrated into open-source software (https://github.com/CXO531/ElectroMap, doi.org:10.1038/s41598-018-38263-2) for analysing cardiac electrophysiology, which has received media attention (e.g. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/this-new-software-reads-cardiac-data-can-predict-risk-of-heart-disease/articleshow/67992748.cms).
