A method and computer program product comprising an algorithm adapted to
execute a method of identifying the spatial coordinates of a sustaining
source of fibrillatory activity in a heart by computing a set of
point-dependent dominant frequencies and a set of point-dependent
regularity indices for a set of products of point-dependent unipolar
discrete power spectra and point-dependent bipolar discrete power
spectra, derived by spectral analyses of corresponding unipolar and
bipolar cardiac depolarization signals simultaneously acquired from a set
of points of the heart. A maximum dominant frequency is selected whose
associated coordinates identify the point of the sustaining source of
fibrillatory activity. The magnitude of the regularity index is
interpreted to verify the identification of the spatial coordinates of
the sustaining source of fibrillatory activity. When indicated, surgical
intervention is directed to the spatial coordinates of the sustaining
source of fibrillatory activity.
