Modern management of tachyarrhythmias

Arrhythmias are among the most common cardiologic disorders. They can affect even young individuals without any significant structural heart disease. However, they are more frequently associated with other cardiac or non-cardiac conditions or may complicate their course. Modern arrhythmia management is complex and relies on technologically advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Non-pharmacological treatment, particularly catheter ablation, is widely available and effective. This paper provides a brief overview of current options for the management and care of patients with tachyarrhythmias.

Keywords: tachyarrhythmias, catheter ablations, atrial fibrillation, electroporation.
