Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is planning to create a Special Issue that focuses on ventricular fibrillation. In this Special Issue, we will highlight some of the recent developments in our understanding of ventricular fibrillation mechanisms, risk prediction, and prevention of sudden cardiac death. These have culminated in recent years in incorporating advanced cardiac imaging and biomarkers to improve identification of individuals at risk and identifying novel targets for catheter ablation. In this Special Issue “Ventricular Fibrillation: Mechanisms and Management”, we welcome you to contribute a research paper or review article on any aspect of this topic, including novel basic science or clinical approaches. Translational approaches, as well as application of artificial intelligence are also relevant topics for this Special Issue. This is an excellent opportunity for clinical and basic sciences trainees in your group to contribute to the field.

Dr. Faisal F. Syed
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
