Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac electrophysiology is evolving rapidly, driven by breakthroughs in molecular science, advanced imaging, computational modeling, and innovative therapeutic approaches. This Special Issue seeks broad, multidisciplinary contributions that span the spectrum from basic mechanisms of impulse formation and conduction to clinical applications that refine diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment of arrhythmias. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives exploring topics such as molecular and genetic drivers of arrhythmogenesis, novel biomarkers, advanced mapping and imaging, wearable and remote monitoring, computational and AI-based tools, as well as pharmacological, device-based, and interventional therapies. Submissions addressing atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, inherited channelopathies, conduction system disorders, and arrhythmias in structural heart disease are encouraged, with a particular focus on innovative approaches that bridge mechanistic understanding and precision, patient-centered care.
Dr. Paschalis Karakasis
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. Life 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 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.
