New methods and tools in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmia have emerged. There are many questions which still present a challenge, such as the ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia, how to improve the long-term success rate of persistent atrial fibrillation, the long-term effectiveness and safety of His-Purkinje conduction system pacing. Accordingly, we dedicate this Special Issue Current Updates on Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology to gathering the most recent progress in this field. Its aim is to present an overview of the current knowledge, latest evidence, and unresolved issues in this field. More specifically, the topics of interest include but are not limited to: atrial fibrillation; cryoablation; radiofrequency ablation; cardiac resynchronization therapy; His-Purkinje conduction system pacing; stereotactic radiotherapy for refractory ventricular tachycardia; pulsed electric field ablation; leadless pacemakers; and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.Medical equipment and techniquesbicsscablationablation indexabnormal electrogramsalgorithmamiodaroneantimicrobial therapyarrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathyatrial fibrillationatrial fibrillation (AF)atrioventricular synchronycardiac computed tomography angiographycardiac implantable electronic device infectioncatheter ablationcollateral circulationcomplicationconvolution neural networkcoronary sinus (CS)coronary sinus ostium (CSo)COVID-19 pandemicdeep learningdetectionelderly patientselectrocardiogramelectrocardiographyethanol infusionganglionated plexushigh-frequency stimulationhigh-poweriatrogenic atrial septal defectinterventional therapyintracardiac echocardiographyleadless dual-chamber pacemakerleadless single-chamber pacemakerleft atrial appendage closureleft atrial appendage occlusionleft ventricular outflow tractnon-pulmonary vein triggersoutcomesparoxysmal atrial fibrillationparoxysmal supraventricular tachycardiapercutaneous left atrial appendage occlusionperi-device leakpharmacotherapypocket infectionpreventive strategiespulmonary vein reconnectionradiofrequency ablationrefractory ventricular tachycardiaright-to-left shuntrisk factorsshort-durationslow injectionstereotactic body radiotherapystrategy selectionsyncopetreatmentvasovagal syncopevein of Marshallvein of Marshall (VOM)ventricular arrhythmiasventricular tachycardiayounger patientsMedical equipment and techniquesBOOK9910743274603321Current Updates on Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology3560544UNINA
