Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of cardiac pacing has undergone many important changes in recent years. The advent of conduction system pacing (CSP) and its elucidation on conduction system disturbances has unveiled important new information on how to target the ventricular conduction system to deliver physiological activation of the ventricles. The potential clinical impact of these novel pacing strategies appears to be very promising. The guidelines were recently updated to reflect the adoption of CSP in many clinical scenarios.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an updated overview of the role of CSP in patients with pacing indications and its impact on cardiac resynchronization therapy and patients with a wide QRS duration. Through contributions from leading experts on cardiac pacing, the present edition provides an updated view on the current state of cardiac pacing therapies and offers valuable insight into the future direction of this field.

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. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease 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 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.
