Women with established tachyarrhythmias, congenital heart defects or channelopathies have the highest risk for development of arrhythmias.1,2 They also develop de novo or occur in women without apparent heart diseases. Tachyarrhythmias, including both supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias,…

Gender exerts a profound influence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation of many cardiac rhythm disorders, and all these factors may affect the outcome of invasive electrophysiological procedures. Disturbingly,…
