Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular arrhythmia diseases are disorders of the heart's electrical system, resulting in an irregular heartbeat. Some common types of arrhythmias include: atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) to name a few. Arrhythmias can be benign or life-threatening, and treatment may range from simple lifestyle modifications to medications or surgical procedures. It is important to diagnose and treat arrhythmias promptly to reduce the risk of complications such as stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Several techniques have been developed in terms of technology or technological advancement for diagnosing cardiovascular arrhythmia diseases in the last three decades. Some of the recent technical advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias include: wearable ECG devices, artificial intelligence, and wireless telemetry, implantable devices to name a few. As healthcare-assistive technologies are continuously growing, there is an increasing need for new computational algorithms for diagnosing cardiovascular arrhythmia diseases because traditional diagnostic techniques have limitations and can be time-consuming. ECG and other cardiac signals generate large amounts of data, which can be challenging to analyze using the traditional methods. New computational algorithms for diagnosing cardiovascular arrhythmia diseases can improve the speed and accuracy of diagnoses, reduce the risk of complications, and improve patient outcomes. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform and opportunity to the researcher fraternity to contribute and share their finding and techniques in the field of ‘Artificial Intelligence-Based Techniques for Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Arrhythmia Diseases’.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and present a recent advancement where artificial intelligence algorithms are specifically designed for the diagnosis of cardiovascular arrhythmia diseases, domain-specific solutions, or hybrid algorithms that integrate artificial intelligence with traditional numerical and mathematical methods.

We invite paper submissions in the form of research articles, review articles, etc., in the following research areas:

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning for ECG analysis;
• Wearable devices for continuous monitoring of cardiac health;
• Biomarkers for early detection of cardiovascular diseases;
• Development of new blood tests for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases;
• Telemedicine for remote monitoring and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases;
• Arrhythmia disease detection and classification using deep learning;
• Transfer learning for cardiac health analysis;
• Advancements in cardiac catheterization techniques;
• Increased use of genetic testing for personalized diagnosis and treatment;
• Non-invasive imaging techniques such as CT angiography and MRI;
• Development of implantable devices for continuous monitoring;
• Holter monitor analysis using artificial intelligence.
