- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Electrophysiological parameters obtained from epicardial mapping, to measure<br /><br>the extent of electropathology. Parameters include e.g. pattern of activation,<br /><br>conduction delay or block, conduction velocity, voltage distribution. These<br /><br>parameters will be compared between the different atrial and ventricular sites<br /><br>and correlated to clinical characteristics. </p><br>
