Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Cardiac Arrhythmias: Technological Frontiers, Therapeutic Approaches and Future Directions,” aims to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of arrhythmia research, from fundamental mechanisms to translational breakthroughs.

We are witnessing a paradigm shift driven by innovations across the digital and experimental spectrum. Digital health—including e-cardiology, telemonitoring, and artificial intelligence—is providing unprecedented insights into arrhythmia prediction, detection, and risk stratification. Concurrently, the devices landscape and the electrophysiology lab are being transformed by novel tools. Technologies like Pulsed-Field Ablation, advanced, AI-assisted mapping systems, and leadless implantable devices present new therapeutic potentials but also new challenges and questions for the science around arrhythmia diagnostics, therapeutics, and overall understanding.

This issue will focus on the pre-clinical, experimental, and translational aspects of these advancements. We invite original research and review articles investigating the following:

  • Novel diagnostic biomarkers and in vitro/in vivo experimental models of arrhythmogenesis;
  • The molecular basis of new therapeutic strategies;
  • Advanced cardiovascular imaging for arrhythmia substrate characterization;
  • The application of AI in guiding diagnostics and personalized treatment models;
  • Translational studies on the mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of new interventional technologies and devices.

By highlighting the frontier of laboratory and experimental medicine in arrhythmology, this Special Issue hopes to pave the way for future, precision-based patient care.

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. Biomedicines 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.
