The technological innovations of the electrophysiological world: are we facing new frontiers of treatment for patients?
Department of Translational Medicine, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, ItalyInterests: arrhythmias; cardiac devices and ablation proceduresSpecial Issues and Topics in IMR Press journals
Dear Colleagues,
In 2021 we are facing several innovations in the field of electrophysiology which are also changing the management of our patients. Regarding the stimulation, we are observing: the increasing use of leadless pacemaker and recently we have also the opportunity to have a leadless VDD pacemaker; the physiologic pacing is becoming more and more popular involving not only His bundle pacing but also left bundle pacing. Focusing on tachyarrhythmias instead, zero-fluoroscopy, high density mapping, epicardial approach e new energy forms are coming out as important options to optimize the treatment.
This Special Issue will be focused on innovations in electrophysiological world, on the clinical relevance of novelties thus far acquired, and on the near future perspectives derived by the changing in the management of our patients.
