Cardiac Arrhythmias: Recent Advances in Underlying Mechanisms, Diagnostic Options and Therapeutic Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

Although tremendous therapeutic improvements have been made in recent decades, cardiac arrhythmias currently remain a high burden for patients, health care, and society.

This is partially due to our incomplete understanding of the (individual) underlying mechanisms contributing to arrhythmia development. Currently, various research projects are focused on unraveling these mechanisms and developing more individualized therapeutic (or preventive) options for the future. Moreover, currently available therapeutic options are being further optimized.

The primary objective of this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine is to provide insights into the new advances in this field in various patient populations.

This Special Issue is open to studies (original articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses) investigating the underlying mechanisms of arrhythmia, new diagnostic options, novel therapeutic approaches, therapeutic outcomes and preventive measures. In addition, studies concerning therapeutic options in congenital heart disease may be submitted.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• The underlying mechanisms of atrial and ventricular arrhythmia;
• Diagnostic strategies for atrial and ventricular arrhythmia;
• Therapeutic options for atrial and ventricular arrhythmia;
• Special cases and therapeutic options for patients with congenital heart disease.
