Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Topic Issue on “Applied Cardiac Electrophysiology” aims to cover recent developments in two main areas, listed below, with basic and translational value for the prevention and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
(1) Technological advancements toward personalized medicine Applications, including but not limited to:
- Optical technologies meet stem-cell engineering for cardiotoxicity testing;
- In silico personalized medicine;
- Disease modeling with stem cells;
- Genetic engineering to affect cardiac function;
- Lab-on-a-chip models and tissue-engineered constructs;
- Sex differences in cardiac electrophysiological responses;
- Aging and cardiac electrophysiology;
- Epigenetic control of cardiac function;
- Biological clocks and ion channel regulation;
(2) Mechanistic studies of cardiac arrhythmias and tools enabling them, including but not limited to:
- Dissecting ion channel contributions to the cardiac action potential;
- Electromechanical coupling;
- Gap-junctional coupling and role of non-cardiomyocytes;
- A closer look at cardiac muscle nanostructures and implications for function;
- New findings related to calcium handling;
- Atrial vs. ventricular arrhythmias;
- Metabolic links of cardiac arrhythmias, hypoxia effects;
- Neurocardiac applications—in situ and in vivo neuronal modulation;
- Cardio-oncology;
- Cell-specific control of cardiac arrhythmias;
- Multimodal explorations of cardiac muscle function;
- Technological advances to study hearts in situ and in vivo;
- Patient-specific modeling;
- AI applications to cardiac arrhythmias.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
