Arrhythmic Risk Stratification

Dear Colleagues,

Sudden cardiac death is a relevant problem, accounting for 50% of all cardiovascular deaths. In 50% of cases, it is the first manifestation of the disease, with an increasing incidence with age.

The latest ESC 2022 guidelines emphasize the importance of a correct diagnostic evaluation and arrhythmia risk stratification in different clinical scenarios, with interesting updates regarding the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and genetics. They also emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of high-risk patients, involving clinical cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and cardiac imaging experts.

However, many patients still fall into a gray area for whom it can be difficult to make a right decision.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect your experiences and ideas on "arrhythmic risk stratification" of patients with different forms of cardiomyopathy and channelopathy in review articles and clinical research articles, so that we can discuss this topic, which still raises many open questions, with the aim of improving the management of our patients.
