Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, cardiac arrhythmias have persisted as a major global health concern and are expected to increase in prevalence due to aging populations and increasing incidences of associated chronic diseases. Understanding the molecular basis of cardiac arrhythmias provides valuable insights for the prevention and management of this global concern, ultimately improving patient health and quality of life.
We cordially invite you to submit manuscripts that highlight novel findings in the molecular causes, progression, and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias as well as key mechanisms in heart rate regulation. Both original research articles and reviews that focus on molecular results are welcome. This Special Issue will highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying the intrinsic and neurohumoral regulation of heart rate, the development and maintenance of cardiac arrhythmias, and innovative therapeutic approaches for the treatment and/or prevention of these conditions. With an emphasis on molecular mechanisms and emerging therapeutic approaches, this Special Issue will offer an engaging and thorough overview of the latest breakthroughs in cardiac arrhythmias and heart rate regulation.
We look forward to receiving your manuscript submissions!
Dr. Yingjie Liu

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
