Special Issue
Read our special issue on Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Management Around the Globe: Challenges and Opportunities, featuring 25 articles on global cardiovascular health management.
The articles in this issue report on, or discuss the need for, sex-, racial-, ethnic-, or region-specific analyses of arrhythmia care; explore the challenges and experiences of health care providers practicing arrhythmia care in middle- and low-income countries or other health resource–constrained global regions; and address unique disease entities and challenges from global regions that are not otherwise well represented in the current literature.
All articles are open access!
