Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 99 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Already scheduled by the treating electrophysiologist for CMR-EP as standard care for the treatment of a cardiac arrhythmia. - Minimum age of 18 years old. - Written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Participation in another investigational study that has not reached its primary endpoint. - Refusal of data storage until 15 years after end of study. To be noted: All patients that are included in this study are already scheduled and thus considered eligible for CMR-EP by the treating electrophysiologist. A strict prerequisite for CMR-EP is that the patient has no contraindication for MRI (metallic implant, body weight > 130 kg, pregnancy, breast feeding women, known severe allergy to gadolineum contrast agents, renal failure with eGFR
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Successful creation of an electroanatomical map of the heart based on which the real-time location of the catheters can be correctly and reliably visualized during CMR-EP. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Procedural success as measured by electrical and anatomical confirmation of a complete ablation lesion at the end of the procedure. - Procedure-by-procedure change in procedural times and total amount of CMR images made prior to the first ablation lesion. - Periprocedural complication rate. - Anatomical confirmation of chronic ablation lesion on the CMR at 3- and 12- month follow-up. | — |
