Entire population (n = 20)6.10 ± 2. 815.35 ± 2.700.430
Ischemic (n = 10)5.50 ± 2.174.70 ± 2.110.422
ARVD/C (n = 10)6.70 ± 3.346.00 ± 3.160.790

Number of SCC entrances per patient are given as mean ± standard deviation. ARVD/C: arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy; EAM: electroanatomical mapping; EGM-DC: electrograms with delayed components; f-EGM: fused electrograms; and SCC: slow conducting channel.
