Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of catheter localization using the NorthStar software during real-time MRI-guided cardiac ablation therapy. At the start of the procedure, the catheters will be manoeuvred to the predefined areas within the right side of the heart based on the specific electrical signals in that area. These locations will be virtually marked within the NorthStar software. The extent to which these markers maintain their spatial coordinates after the ablation procedure, evaluated by obtained electrical signals, will serve as a quantitative measure of the system's accuracy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate the influence of additional factors, such as breathing pattern, procedure duration, complications during ablation, and patient characteristics, on the pre- and post-ablation marker distance. This secondary objective will complement the primary objective of evaluating the accuracy of the NorthStar software. | — |
