Revolutionizing Arrhythmia Therapy: Novel Approaches in Pacing and Defibrillation

Dear Colleagues,

The field of cardiac electrophysiology is undergoing a profound transformation driven by technological innovation and refined pathophysiological understanding. Conventional pacing and defibrillation strategies—long the cornerstone of bradyarrhythmia and sudden death prevention—are now being reshaped by the advent of conduction system pacing, leadless stimulation, subcutaneous and extravascular ICDs, and the integration of advanced imaging and remote monitoring.

This Special Issue highlights recent advances redefining arrhythmia prevention and treatment, bridging innovative research with clinical practice. Topics of interest include new approaches to conduction system pacing and defibrillation, optimization of device implantation, physiological pacing for heart failure prevention, and arrhythmia detection through artificial intelligence.

By gathering cutting-edge research, clinical experience, and technological insights, this Special Issue will offer a forward-looking perspective on how next-generation pacing and defibrillation strategies are revolutionizing the management of arrhythmic disorders and improving patient outcomes.

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.
