As issued by the authors
Arrhythmia management is stratified by disease phase.
During active inflammation, antiarrhythmic therapy is combined with aetiology-targeted treatment or immunosuppression when indicated.
In later stages, substrate-based strategies include pharmacological therapy, device implantation or ablation.
Emphasis on the hot-to-cold transition as an arrhythmogenic window and on risk stratification.
