Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart rhythm disorders form a major component of cardiac morbidity, significantly impacting health and contributing to serious complications such as stroke or heart failure. Recent strides in technology for diagnosing and treating tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias have propelled remarkable advancements in the field.
While the diagnostic landscape encompasses a stepladder of modalities ranging from traditional electrocardiograms, Holter monitors and echocardiography to cardiac MRI and diagnostic EP studies, the true challenge facing electrophysiologists lies in adeptly leveraging these diagnostic modalities to achieve precise and accurate diagnoses. A quick dive into existing literature reveals the existing disparities in evidence pertaining to optimal management, encompassing variability in treatment efficacy and long-term prognosis. This Special Issue aims to address these gaps by highlighting the influence of modern cardiac imaging techniques and exploring the role of catheter interventions and device therapies in managing heart rhythm disorders. This Special Issue seeks contributions discussing the utilization and interpretation of cardiac imaging, device and catheter ablation data to improve clinical workflows and optimize the distribution of imaging services. Articles can include reviews, editorials, case studies or original research across pediatric, adult, critical care and perioperative settings.
