Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interventional treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure remains a continuously evolving and increasingly complex field, driven by the rapid development of novel electrophysiological technologies, including advances in cardiac implantable electronic devices and innovations in catheter ablation. Despite the availability of international guidelines and consensus documents, significant gaps in evidence persist, particularly regarding patient selection, long-term outcomes, and optimal integration of emerging therapies into clinical practice.
This Special Issue, entitled “Innovations in Electrical Therapy for Heart Failure”, aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of recent advances in the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure, with a particular focus on innovative catheter and cardiac device-based therapies. Special emphasis will be placed on cardiac resynchronization therapy, including both conventional biventricular pacing and conduction system pacing approaches (His bundle and left bundle branch area pacing), as well as cardiac contractility modulation, considered as emerging therapeutic options. We also welcome contributions on catheter-based management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, particularly in the setting of heart failure. In addition, further topics addressing neuromodulation, hybrid device–ablation strategies, advances in implantable technologies, mapping, and procedural techniques are within the scope of this Special Issue.
In this context, we invite researchers in these fields, including clinicians and translational scientists, to contribute their work to this Special Issue. We particularly encourage the submission of high-quality original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and state-of-the-art overviews that explore and integrate emerging diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in electrical therapies for cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
