ABSTRACT:
Electrophysiological methods and apparatus are disclosed. An exemplary myocardial treatment method includes the steps of positioning an electrode on the epicardial surface of a ventricle and transmitting energy from the electrode, through the epicardial surface and into the ventricular wall to create a lesion within the ventricular wall. An exemplary apparatus includes a shaft and one or more electrodes that have a main portion and a needle portion.
