This special article marks the seventh installment in an annual series featured in the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. The authors extend their gratitude to Editor-in-Chief Dr. Kaplan, Associate Editor-in-Chief Dr. Augoustides, and the editorial board for the opportunity to contribute to this series, which highlights key research in electrophysiology (EP) relevant to cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesiologists. This collection of articles explores evolving perioperative EP practices, including updated guidelines and therapies for atrial and ventricular fibrillation management, innovations in cardiovascular implantable devices and wearable technologies, and the integration of artificial intelligence into EP. Implications of these advancements on anesthetic management for patients undergoing EP procedures are discussed.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
