Figure 5.

Electric field distribution around the target site (epicardium) to assess the effect of having a ganglionated plexi (GP) in the centre of the epicardial fat layer just below the ablation device. Different fat layer thicknesses were considered for comparison: (A) 1 mm, (B) 2 mm, and (C) 4 mm fat layers. Below is shown a magnified view of the GPs within the different fat layer thicknesses: (D) 1 mm, (E) 2 mm, and (F) 4 mm. The ablation device is totally embedded in the saline layer. The white contour corresponds to the 1000 V/cm electric field isoline.
