Cortex aims to transform the diagnosis and treatment of atrial arrhythmias by providing insight into each individual patient’s disease pathophysiology.

The OptiMap™ System is a 510(k) cleared, electrographic flow (EGF) mapping solution designed with AI, enabling physicians to See What Matters.

The OptiMap™ System is a 510(k) cleared, advanced mapping system that calculates Electrographic Flow™ (EGF) from a single minute of unipolar electrogram signals recorded from the 64-electrode OptiMap™ basket catheter. Our software uses an innovative optical flow algorithm to enable the full spatiotemporal reconstruction of the otherwise chaotic and disorganized electrical conduction of atrial fibrillation—allowing you to See What Matters.^1,2

For each individual patient, the EGF algorithm provides vector flow estimations that identify active sources as divergent excitation waves that may represent triggers or drivers of atrial arrhythmias outside the pulmonary veins³ and the consistency of wavefront propagation may be indicative of atrial substrate.* Understanding the pathophysiologic mechanisms contributing to a particular patient’s atrial fibrillation is the key to improving treatment effectiveness.^4,5

For patients with challenging and complex atrial arrhythmias, PVI is not enough and a one-size-fits-all anatomical approach risks both failing to ablate critical triggers/drivers and over-ablating areas of heart tissue that are not playing a role in the pathophysiology of an individual patient’s disease.⁶ The ability to phenotype AF patients may facilitate the customization of a focused, minimal ablation strategy requiring the least amount of ablative tissue destruction while optimizing clinical success.^5,6,7
