Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac electrophysiology is a rapidly evolving field. Today, catheter ablation stands as the first-line therapy for many cardiac arrhythmias, such as AV node reentry tachycardia, typical and atypical atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most frequently performed ablation procedure in cardiac electrophysiology and a pivotal strategy in the rhythm management of atrial fibrillation patients. Over the past decades, various thermal and non-thermal modalities for cardiac catheter ablation have emerged. These include 3D mapping-integrated point-by-point radiofrequency ablation, single-shot cryoballoon PVI, and pulsed-field ablation. Additionally, ablation procedures for premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) have significantly improved outcomes for these complex arrhythmias. With a deeper understanding of arrhythmic substrates, modulators, and triggers, substrate-based ablation is gaining increasing attention. This Special Issue aims to provide clinical updates and perspectives on the rapidly evolving cardiac arrhythmia catheter ablation 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 Clinical Medicine 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 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.
