Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality. Research in this field aims to understand the mechanisms of electrical and structural dysfunction in the heart. This knowledge supports the development of diagnostic tools, pharmacological treatments, and advanced therapies, such as implantable devices and gene-based interventions. Advancements improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare burdens, and address unmet clinical needs. With growing populations and aging demographics, innovative research remains critical in combating these life-threatening conditions and improving quality of life for millions worldwide.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Biology focusing on the “Pathobiology of Cardiac Arrhythmias and Heart Failure Issues”. This Special Issue aims to explore the molecular, cellular, and systemic mechanisms underlying these conditions, alongside innovative diagnostics and therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aligns with Biology’s aims and scope to advance biological science through rigorous, impactful research. Join us in enriching this critical field!
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: ion channelopathies, fibrosis, apoptosis, inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and the interplay of genetic and environmental factors.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Mohit Hulsurkar
Guest Editor
