Highlights and comments on EHRA/HRS/APHRS/LAHRS expert consensus on risk assessment in cardiac arrhythmias: use the right tool for the right outcome

AbstractPatients with heart disease, or at high risk of developing a cardiac condition, usually undergo risk assessment by primary care physicians, internal medicine doctors, or cardiologists. There are several methods that can be used for this risk assessment, and their applicability differs with respect to availability, complexity, and usefulness in different geographic populations. This document focuses on some of the many relevant clinical topics recently presented in the “Expert Consensus on Risk Assessment in Cardiac Arrhythmias: Use the Right Tool for the Right Outcome,” which include statements based on the best available evidence. In this review, we want to highlight and make some pertinent comments on some of the most relevant points of this Consensus.
