Published in: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology | Issue 1/2018

Excerpt

As we start a new year, the Journal now enters its twenty-second year of continuous publication. Today, we see the results of a long voyage that has resulted in the Journal achieving its current status. This is indeed a time for reflection on past accomplishments and a hopeful look into the future. It is also a time to take a critical look at the science and practice in Interventional Electrophysiology. …
