Conditions
Interventions
The subjects will be asked to undergo a procedure in which 256 recordings of body-surface potentials (ECGs) are made. For this purpose, strips of electrodes will be attached to the subject's torso.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age ≥ 18 years and one or more of the following: 1. Conditions that might alter electrical conduction properties in the heart, including (but not limited to): Brugada syndrome (BS), Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC); 2. Implanted cardiac device, such as pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator; 3. The sole need for cardiac CT as technique to exclude cardiac disease (reference group).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Known strong reaction against electrode attachment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study endpoint is further development and validation of mathematical methods and recording techniques, to reconstruct epicardial potentials from body-surface potentials (BSPs) and a torso-heart geometry. This development and validation can only be performed when BSP and torso-heart geometrical data are available. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary study endpoints include disease-specific abnormalities in epicardial reconstructions or in body-surface potential maps. | — |
