Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and it imposes important costs on health care systems. The prevalence of AF is estimated to more than double in the next decades, due to the aging population and the increasing incidence of its risk factors.
The journal Life (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life, IF 3.817, ISSN 2075-1729) invites scientists and clinicians to contribute manuscripts to a Special Issue on “Recent Developments and New Challenges in Atrial Fibrillation”. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect cutting-edge original research papers and case reports, viewpoints as well as state-of-the-art reviews and meta-analyses, presenting recent progress toward a better understanding of pathophysiology, defining new methods for AF screening and diagnosis, and novel management options of AF. Andreas Müssigbrodt, M.D. and Alireza Sepehri Shamloo, M.D. will serve as guest editors of this Special Issue and warmly welcome all researchers to submit their related work. Suitable submissions will be warranted a fair and rapid peer review process. We look forward to your contributions in this exciting, rapidly evolving field.
