Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias: Practices and Outcomes

Dear Colleagues, 

Catheter ablation is an effective treatment option for cardiac arrhythmia. For decades, there has been remarkable advancement in techniques and technologies for mapping and ablation, helping clinicians to further understand the mechanisms of arrhythmias, to facilitate the procedures, and to improve the safety of the ablation and patients’ clinical outcome. The aim and scope of this Special Issue mainly focus on but are not limited to current mapping and ablation techniques for arrhythmias, procedural endpoints and outcomes, procedural complications, and prevention strategies. We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, state-of-the-art reviews, challenging/informative case series, challenging/informative images in mapping and ablation, new technologies, etc.
