Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The heart is a fascinating organ of obvious importance. The degree of evolutionary specialization has led us to find different cardiac characteristics depending on the species. To cite a few examples, we can say that differences in the size of the heart in animals can lead to a higher or lower survival rate in the face of lethal arrhythmias; that cardiac circulation can have different degrees of collateral vasculature depending on the species; that the retrograde sense of conduction can be admitted after external stimulation in some animals; or that the degree of adaptation to physical exercise can be different in each creature. Deepening our knowledge of the heart via its analysis has also required the use of a great variety of techniques and strategies and, therefore, covers a wide field in current research. Physiological knowledge of the heart will help us to clarify traditional doubts and enable us to prevent or treat diseases, abnormalities, embryopathies or discomforts that hinder or prevent the lives of many living beings that accompany us every day at work or at home.
The objective of this Special Issue is to gather the most recent advances in the knowledge of the cardiac physiology of animals in one publication.

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. Animals 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 2400 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.
