Diagnosing and Treating Arrhythmias in Children

Dear Colleagues,

Pediatric patients suffering from heart rhythm disorders are in need of expert care in the field of arrhythmias. Especially in children, the management of arrhythmias can be challenging, as diagnostic and therapeutic approaches may not be interpolated from adult patient care. Expanding our knowledge on the cardiac conduction system and arrhythmogenesis has led to focused diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The field of invasive cardiac electrophysiology in particular has evolved quickly over the past decade and continues to grow at a fast pace. The latest inventions, such as pulsed field ablation, may guide future therapy.

This Special Issue will discuss diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in certain arrhythmias for the pediatric cohort. Special emphasis will be given to elements such as invasive electrophysiology and ablation, electrocardiography, imaging, and antiarrhythmic drugs.

Articles for this Special Issue should include possible impact on the daily clinical practice in pediatric electrophysiology and arrhythmias.
