Preamble

This traditional overview looks back at the year 2017, summarizing a selection of important and clinically relevant new developments in the fields of cardiac arrhythmias. From new data for the ablation of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardias, over the most recent developments in anticoagulation, to the most recent advances in risk stratification and prevention of sudden cardiac death, we summarize the key findings of relevant studies and put them into perspective for the practicing cardiologist.
