Abstract
A method of treating a complex rhythm disorder of a human heart includes identifying a region of a wall of the heart having an activation trail that is rotational or radially emanating, where the activation trail is indicative of the complex rhythm disorder and is based on activation times associated with one or more activations of the heart. A portion of the region is selected based on the activation trail and modified to affect the activation trail.
