Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac arrhythmias and heart diseases with predominantly arrhythmic manifestations are common disorders with high and rising prevalence and incidence. Interest in elucidating their arrhythmogenic, diagnostic, and therapeutic mechanisms has therefore increased markedly. The management of cardiac arrhythmias remains one of the most complex and rapidly evolving challenges in modern cardiology. A deep understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms is essential to improve prevention, enable earlier diagnosis, and enhance therapeutic efficacy.
In recent years, clinical arrhythmology has advanced substantially, including improvements in the interpretation and use of biochemical and molecular biomarkers and their correlation with arrhythmic events. Diagnostic capabilities have also progressed: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, advanced echocardiography, and increasingly specific molecular/biochemical assays now enable more accurate and targeted evaluation of arrhythmias. Therapeutically, beyond the development of novel drugs that act selectively on disease-specific pathways, the introduction of new energy modalities—such as electroporation-based (pulsed-field) ablation—has inaugurated a new era in the treatment of arrhythmias and arrhythmogenic conditions.
This Special Issue, “Cardiac Arrhythmias and Arrhythmogenic Disorders: Pathomechanisms, Diagnostics and Novel Treatment Options”, invites original research and review articles that critically examine recent advances in basic and clinical science. Priority topics include novel diagnostic techniques, predictive tools based on advanced technologies, and innovative therapeutic approaches, including pharmacological therapies, ablative strategies, and gene- or molecular-targeted interventions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
