Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The heart organ in humans causes strong dynamic changes in several physical variables of various natures, including mechanical, sound, electrical, magnetic and plethysmographic. These may be sensed by means of various techniques and directly result in various important signals that require some signal processing for their useful clinical interpretation and cardiac diagnostics. Other indirectly related signals result when characterising particular body tissues for enabling some effective cardiac therapeutics and may also be included in the wide scope of cardiac applied signal processing methods and techniques in cardiovascular healthcare. Their rapid development and sophistication have increased the reliability and feasibility of long-term continuous non-invasive cardiac monitoring and diagnostics of the heart’s vital signs, as well as for the appropriate configuration of some cardiac therapeutic assistance or permanent destination devices, for the treatment of a particular heart disease. Cardiac applied signal processing for the latter devices is technologically challenging, as they usually require an implantable device in stable long-term operation and they are of increasing demand due to the global ageing population.
Overall Scope:
- Cardiac signals processing for wearable electrodes sensing applications for long-term monitoring.
- Cardiac haemodynamic monitoring signals processing methods.
- Body-surface tissue characterisation signals processing methods for cardiac therapeutics applications.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors 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.
