Article Collections

Curated topic-based collections spanning clinical and educational domains in cardiac arrhythmia, electrophysiology, pacing, ablation, pharmacology, and more.

The Journal of Arrhythmia's curated collections bring together peer-reviewed research and clinical guidance across the full spectrum of cardiac electrophysiology. Readers can explore topic-based groupings that span atrial fibrillation management, ventricular arrhythmias, device therapy, and catheter ablation techniques. Each collection is assembled with the practicing clinician in mind, offering a streamlined path to the latest evidence on implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and lead management. These thematic compilations also extend into pharmacology, including antiarrhythmic agents and rate-control strategies, ensuring that both interventional and medical approaches are represented in a single, organized resource.

Beyond the clinical core, the collections reach into foundational science and education, making them valuable for residents, fellows, and established electrophysiologists alike. Basic electrophysiology topics cover mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis, ion channel physiology, and translational research that informs everyday practice. Educational collections are designed to support trainees preparing for board examinations, while advanced sections address complex scenarios such as Brugada syndrome, inherited arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death risk stratification. The deliberate grouping of related articles allows readers to build a comprehensive understanding of a given subject without the need to search across multiple issues or volumes.

Thematic collections also reflect the journal's commitment to contemporary issues in device management and patient safety. Dedicated groupings address cardiac implantable electronic device infections, surveillance protocols, and the evolving landscape of lead extraction. Additional collections examine pacing strategies in both single and dual chamber configurations, along with updates in remote monitoring and follow-up care. These curated areas help clinicians stay current with rapidly changing guidelines and technical standards, offering a practical reference point for daily decision-making at the bedside or in the device clinic.

For researchers and authors, the collections serve as a gateway to the broader body of work published in the journal, highlighting trends and gaps in the literature that may inspire future investigation. Open access content is woven throughout, ensuring that practitioners in resource-limited settings can benefit from the same high-quality evidence as those in well-equipped centers. The editorial team continuously refreshes these groupings as new articles are published, corrected proofs are finalized, and supplemental materials become available. This dynamic approach ensures that each collection remains a living, up-to-date resource for the global arrhythmia community.

Our article collections bring together key papers organized by clinical relevance and educational value. Whether you are a student learning ECG interpretation, a resident exploring electrophysiology studies and devices, or a practicing specialist seeking the latest on ablation techniques or antithrombotic therapy, these curated groups help you find focused content efficiently.
