Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few years, Arrhythmology has made amazing progress.
New technologies such as left bundle branch area pacing or zero-fluoroscopy device implantations are revolutionizing Cardiac Stimulation, probably for the first time in over several decades.
Imaging techniques are fundamental not only as a guide to implantation, but also to evaluate cardiac performance with myocardial work analysis and other new indexes.
On the other hand, Electrophysiology has seen the establishment of three-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping systems, with new systems, now also combined with intracardiac echocardiography. Furthermore, new forms of energy delivery for transcatheter ablation, such as electroporation, are emerging and being used together with traditional ones such as radiofrequency and cryoablation.
The availability of modern interventive techniques and tools in recent years prompted a rapid evolution of those themes.
In addition to technological advancements, there has been a growing emphasis in Arrhythmology on personalized medicine with new treatment options becoming available to clinicians and tailoring treatment plans based on the unique genetic profile of patients. Specific populations (i.e., genetic conduction disorders, congenital heart diseases, hemoglobinopathies, inherited channelopathies and many others) have probably been previously under-considered but are not comparable to the general population and deserve specific evidence.
It is with great enthusiasm that we follow these advances.
We hope that our Special Issue can contribute to spreading the great progresses of Arrhythmology.

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.
