Dear Colleagues,

I am proud to announce the special issue “Clinical Electrophysiology: diagnosis and treatment”. There have been remarkable recent advances in approaches/therapies for the management of cardiac arrhythmias. The field of cardiac electrophysiology has been characterized by a succession of advances in understanding the pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmias and the application of innovative technologies to cure diverse supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Development of novel concepts of arrhythmias has led a new strategy of curing the arrhythmias along with the progression of 3D technologies. As these results, most of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia complicated with organic heart disease and some types of ventricular fibrillation have become curable by catheter-based approaches. The Special Issue will publish full research articles and systematic reviews. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas: 
  ? Concept, electrophysiological diagnosis and ablation of supraventricular or ventricular tachyarrhythmias
  ? Technologies including imaging and mapping system
  ? Pathophysiology of tachyarrhythmias
  ? Meta-analysis of clinical trials
  ? Molecular biology and cellular physiology of inherited arrhythmias

We look forward to receiving your excellent work. 

Thank you very much!

Dr. Yoshiaki Kaneko
