Clinical Updates in the Management of Ventricular Tachycardia

Dear Colleagues,

I am very pleased to invite you to this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine on “Clinical Updates in the Management of Ventricular Tachycardia”. The scope of this Issue is to provide insights on clinical approaches to ventricular tachycardia. Particular focus will be given to current imaging techniques for pathophysiological characterization, diagnosis, and procedural planning in different etiologies. Attention will be paid to recent progresses in the field of cardiac magnetic resonance. Furthermore, a multimodality approach to risk stratification of arrhythmic cardiac death will be provided, especially in challenging subgroups like patients with preserved left ventricle ejection fraction. Light will be shed on contemporary pharmacological therapies and recent technological advances in the ablation of ventricular tachycardia. The growing body of knowledge about the pathophysiology and the risk stratification can allow us to more precisely target the arrhythmic substrate and to introduce the topic of tailored, patient-centered therapies such as ICD in primary prevention.
