This study is being done to understand whether the fluid that is normally in the pericardial space (2-3 ounces) that surrounds the heart contributes to arrhythmias.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with ventricular tachycardia that require an epicardial ablation approach.
- Subjects with atrial fibrillation who require the deployment of left atrial appendage occluder device (LARIAT).
- Subjects with frequent ventricular ectopic activities that require an epicardial ablation approach.
- Subjects with coronary artery disease undergoing CABG with a history of atrial fibrillation.
- Subjects with coronary artery disease who require coronary bypass surgery
- Subjects with aortic valve disease who require aortic valve replacement surgery
- Subjects who have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who require surgical septal myomectomy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects not requiring one of the above ablative or surgical procedures.
- Subjects not willing to provide consent.
- Subjects with concomitant mitral valvular heart disease, or congenital heart disease.
- Subjects who has mitral or tricuspid valve disease who require surgical replacement or repair
