Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Arrhythmias are common and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Innovative treatment options have been developed over the last few years and have substantially improved survival but remain ineffective in a number of patients, remain largely symptomatic therapies without targeting the causal factors, and are associated with numerous complications and side effects. Thus, novel therapies which ideally target causal proarrhythmic mechanisms are highly needed but require a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and strategies to improve translation from basic science to clinical application.
In the current issue of Cells entitled “Frontiers in Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias”, we aim to provide a collection of articles emphasizing the current knowledge on arrhythmias.
We encourage clinicians and basic and translational scientists to submit original research data, up-to-date review articles, and protocols on methodological aspects. This call for papers is not dedicated to a specific disease, and we will also consider manuscripts on diseases predisposing to arrhythmias, such as diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Potential subjects include but are not limited to:
- Basic electrophysiology studies (e.g., cellular electrophysiology, molecular mechanisms, genetics);
- Disease modeling (small and large animal models, transgenic models, etc.);
- Translational aspects (e.g., validation of basic research findings in large animals);
- Description of scientific and clinical methods (e.g., state-of-the-art methodology, practical protocols);
- Current clinical management (e.g., diagnostic approaches, treatment options, preventive strategies);
- Clinical trials.

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. Cells 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 2700 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
