| 1. A physiology workstation, comprising:
a communications interface conveying intracardiac (IC) physiology signals derived from a region of interest of a subject and
ultrasound data representative of the region of interest of the subject, the IC physiology signals being produced by at least
one of an IC clectrophysiology (EP) catheter and a hemodynamic (HD) catheter within a heart of a subject during at least one
of an EP and HD procedure, the ultrasound data being obtained by an ultrasound device in real-time during the at least one
of an EP and HD procedure carried out on the subject;
a physiology processing unit receiving and processing the IC physiology signals during the at least one of an EP and HD procedure;
an ultrasound processing unit receiving and processing the ultrasound data to generate ultrasound images, the physiology processing
unit combining the IC physiology signals with the ultrasound images from the ultrasound processing unit; and
a display unit displaying the IC physiology signals and the ultrasound images, the IC physiology signals and ultrasound signals
being presented jointly to a user in real-time during the at least one of an EP and HD procedure being carried out on the
subject.
