Noninvasive electrophysiology in risk assessment and  screening

Invasive electrophysiology has substantially advanced over previous years. Procedures such as defibrillator implantations or pulmonary vein isolation that have previously been an exclusive domain of major centers are presently available from many small clinics. This somewhat contrasts with general perception of noninvasive electrophysiology. While substantial noninvasive research advances have been reported, their wide utility in clinical practice is not forthcoming. Some teaching centers even believe that noninvasive electrophysiology including electrocardiography is not worth teaching and that standard electrocardiographic diagnoses can rely on computerized diagnoses by modern equipment.
