Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac arrhythmias are burgeoning health threats with strong associations with lifestyle factors such as nutritional habits, alcohol consumption, tobacco use or physical inactivity. Recently, lifestyle and risk interventions, including weight loss, dietary management and physical fitness, have been reported to reduce the burden of cardiac arrhythmias. These methods have also enhanced the benefits of other therapies. Although lifestyle and risk interventions are now proposed as a novel pillar of cardiac arrhythmias management, their applications are still limited by scarce clinical and experimental evidence. Therefore, further investigation is needed in order to explore the mechanism and effects of systematic lifestyles and risk factor modifications for cardiac arrhythmias.
This Special Issue aims to publish original research and reviews related to the clinical, epidemiological or animal evidence of risk factors contributing to cardiac arrhythmias, their underlying mechanisms, and the effects of lifestyle interventions on arrhythmogenesis. Our goal is to provide a better understanding of the cause, risk factors and lifestyle modulations of cardiac arrhythmias in order to optimize existing lifestyle strategies (such as dietary pattern or exercise type/intensity) and ultimately translate current evidence and guidelines into individualized medical strategies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
