Abstract

Systems and methods use an array (20) of multiple electrodes (24) supported for operative association with a region of heart tissue, in tandem with a roving second electrode (36) supported for movement relative to the multiple electrodes for operative association with selected different regions of endocardial tissue within the heart. An analog or digital processing element (32) conditions one of the multiple electrodes and the roving electrode to emit a pacing signal while the other one of the multiple electrodes and the roving electrode records paced electro-grams occurring as a result of the pacing signal. A template of cardiac event of known diagnosis sensed using the array of multiple electrodes is input. A
sample of a cardiac event acquired by pacing from at least one roving electrode and sensed with the array of multiple electrodes is input. The processing element and method electronically compare the sample to a template and generate an output.
