Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac electrophysiology is a subspecialty of cardiology that especially addresses the heart’s electrical system. Cardiac electrophysiologists diagnose arrhythmias, i.e., abnormalities in the heart rhythm, perform tests to determine their causes, and provide the proper treatment. Cardiac arrhythmias can increase the risk of serious complications and also become life-threatening. In this context, biomedical engineering provides technical instruments for supporting clinicians in detecting and monitoring arrhythmias, sometimes preventing severe or even malignant events. In the last few decades, the use of sophisticated automatic tools for cardiac signal and image processing, as well as advanced statistics means and artificial intelligence, has triggered and guided advancements in the field. Advanced risk assessment technologies are becoming more and more available in clinical practice. All these technologies are intended to help make care practices more efficient and improve patient outcomes. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the advancements that cardiac electrophysiology has reached or has the potential to reach in clinical practice thanks to the tools provided by biomedical engineering working in the cardiac field. In this Special Issue, a diverse range of contributions are welcome to make the point about present knowledge and possible future directions.

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 Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
