Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia worldwide. The catheter ablation (CA) of AF is progressively becoming the therapy of choice to establish rhythm control. Due to advances in technology and new ablation strategies, the efficacy and safety of CA are constantly improving. Currently, different energy sources, catheter designs and mapping systems provide a broad spectrum of options for the electrophysiologist. Despite rapid progress in this emerging field and worldwide consensus updates, evidence gaps persist at all points. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the advances in new ablation techniques for atrial fibrillation, with particular interest in the use of innovative techniques and technologies in the CA of AF. Researchers in the field of clinical arrhythmology and electrophysiology are encouraged to submit their findings as original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
