Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac arrhythmias include a great variety of clinical conditions, from the most benign, such as isolated extra beats, to the most life-threatening conditions that can lead to ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Our knowledge about the mechanisms of the genesis and perpetuation of cardiac arrhythmias has evolved dramatically in recent years. In parallel, the clinical portfolio for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias has been enriched significantly, and cardiologists today have different potential “weapons” to help patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmic drugs, transcatheter cardiac ablation, pacemakers, and defibrillators are established and effective treatments that are extensively used worldwide in everyday clinical practice. Nonetheless, the results, especially for the treatment of the most prevalent arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias, are still suboptimal. Personalized therapy, neuromodulation and radiotherapy of cardiac arrhythmias are among the most promising new potential treatments that have recently emerged. These new frontiers may significantly change the clinical approach to cardiac arrhythmias in the near future.
The aim of this Special Issue is to host original and review contributions on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. This issue should provide readers with a comprehensive overview of established therapies but also help to take the first steps into the future in the fascinating and complex world of cardiac arrhythmias.
