Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been numerous advances in the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias over the past several decades. With advances in cardiovascular care resulting in increased longevity of patients with heart disease, the incidence and prevalence of arrhythmias continue to increase. Therapies such as antiarrhythmic drugs, catheter ablation, autonomic modulation, and noninvasive ablation have been increasingly utilized to control arrhythmias.
There is a continued drive to identify novel therapies for the management of complex arrhythmias to help to improve quality of life and reduce mortality. On these grounds, this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine has as its main objective to gather papers focused on management of complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Therefore, studies exploring multiple treatment strategies for arrhythmias (pharmacologic, procedural, noninvasive, etc.) that can advance the field are welcome in this Special Issue. Original investigations, review articles, and short communications are welcome.
In summary, this Special Issue aims to summarize the clinical treatment options for complex arrhythmias. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Antiarrhythmic drug therapy;
- Catheter ablation of atrial arrhythmias;
- Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias;
- Novel ablation strategies;
- Autonomic modulation;
- Biophysics of ablation;
- Surgical ablation;
- Management of arrhythmias in high-risk patients with structural heart disease;
- Arrhythmia management in patients with congenital heart disease;
- Noninvasive radiation ablation for ventricular tachycardia.
