Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Tachyarrhythmias are common cardiovascular emergencies encountered in clinical practice. Among these, atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) pose significant hazards due to their prevalence and severity. Initially, non-invasive pharmacological antiarrhythmic interventions were the primary treatment modality; however, due to their limited control rates and side effects, invasive therapies have been introduced in recent years. These include catheter ablation, alcohol ablation, cardiac implantable electronic devices, and heart transplantation. Nonetheless, for some patients, invasive treatments do not offer a definitive cure for arrhythmias and carry the risk of recurrence, especially with AF and VT, where the relapse rates are high and the treatment for VT is correlated with the type of tachycardia present. Currently, novel non-invasive treatment methods are emerging, with stereotactic radioablation therapy becoming an effective alternative for the management of refractory tachyarrhythmias. This review provides an overview of the application background of Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation (STAR) therapy and promising results from its use in animal models and clinical applications.
