Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sudden cardiac death is a relevant problem, affecting populations of all ages, including the young, and in 50% of cases, it may be the first manifestation of the disease. The latest scientific evidence emphasizes the importance of multiparametric and multidisciplinary evaluation in the arrhythmic risk stratification of the patient with cardiomyopathy, highlighting the increasingly important role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and genetics. However, many patients are still in a gray area for whom it can be difficult to make the right decision.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect your experiences and ideas on “arrhythmic risk stratification,” in particular “Risk and Prediction of Sudden Cardiac Death and Arrhythmias,” of patients with cardiomyopathy in reviews and clinical research articles, so that we can discuss this topic, which still raises many open questions, with the aim of improving the management of our patients.
