Keywords Cardio-oncology electrophysiology radiation-associated device malfunction Onco-electrophysiology Introduction Recent advancements in cancer care have significantly improved the survival of patients, but the long-term survival of those patients is adversely affected by cardiovascular complications.1 The rapidly expanding Cardio-Oncology specialty has provided collaborative cardiovascular care for cancer survivors.

PLOS ONE, Aug 2023 Chronic stress among young patients (≤ 45 years old) could result in autonomic dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction could be exhibited via sympathetic hyperactivity, sympathetic nerve sprouting, and diffuse adrenergic stimulation in the atria. Adrenergic spatial densities could alter atrial electrophysiology and increase arrhythmic susceptibility. Therefore, we examined the role of adrenergic spatial densities in creating arrhythmogenic substrates in silico.
