Abstrakt: Non-invasive tools play a crucial role in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of virtually all patients suspected to have or who have had cardiac arrhythmias. These non-invasive tools can help determine the clinical significance and prognostic importance of the arrhythmia and can help assess risk of serious arrhythmic consequences including death. Based on a non-invasive assessment, the need for prophylactic and/or potentially interventional therapy can be better ascertained. We provide a comprehensive, yet, concise overview of non-invasive tools to address practical, important, and contemporaneous issues with a focus on patient management. We emphasize strategies to approach challenging clinical scenarios and address how monitoring adds value in specific clinical situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
