A computer software program is described that maps the electrical activity of
a
patient's heart. The software program utilizes inputs from electrodes contained
within a heart chamber. Inputs from the electrodes cause the program to calculate
the heart chamber volume, and then to determine the position of the electrodes
within the heart chamber. The program then utilizes inputs from the electrodes
to calculate the three-dimensional volumetric electrical field distribution of
said heart chamber. This calculation is accomplished using a spherical harmonic
series expression. Finally, the computer program displays the electrical field
distribution of the heart chamber.
