Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Cardiac Arrhythmia
This special issue belongs to the section “Molecular and Translational Medicine“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a special issue of Biomedicines.
In this particular Special Issue, we aim to present recent advances in the understanding of cardiac arrhythmias and to introduce novel pharmacological and (clinical) treatments. Potential topics for this Special Issue, which is dealing with all aspects of cardiac arrhythmias, include, but are not limited to: acquired and inherited cardiac arrhythmias, ion channels and exchangers, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, impulse formation and conduction, animal and cell culture models, side effects of non-cardiac drugs, (non) cardiac modulatory factors in channelopathies disease severity, and treatment of arrhythmias. Contributions on arrhythmia treatments may focus on gene modulation, (new) blockers, and drugs involved in enhanced trafficking and expression.
Both reviews and original research articles are welcomed. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. István Koncz
