Abstract
Digital precision medicine is gaining increasing importance in rhythmology, especially in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. This trend is driven by the advancing digitization in healthcare and the availability of large amounts of data from various sources such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), implants like pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), as well as wearables like smartwatches and fitness trackers. Through the analysis of this data, physicians can develop more precise and individualized diagnoses and treatment strategies for patients with cardiac arrhythmias. For example, subtle changes in ECGs can be identified, indicating potentially dangerous arrhythmias. Genetic analyses and resulting large datasets also play an increasingly significant role, especially in hereditary ion channel disorders such as long QT syndrome (LQTS) and Brugada syndrome (BrS), as well as in lone atrial fibrillation (AF). Precision medicine enables the development of individualized treatment approaches tailored to the specific needs and risk factors of each patient. This can help improve screening strategies, reduce adverse events, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for patients. Technological advancements such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics play acrucial role in predicting the risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. These concepts enable more precise and personalized predictions and support physicians in the treatment and monitoring of their patients.
