Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the field of implantable cardiac devices, with a specific focus on the designs, materials, and performances of these devices. Implantable cardiac devices, such as pacemakers-transvenous/leadless, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, play a crucial role in managing various heart conditions. The evolution of these devices is driven by continuous innovations in their designs and materials used, which collectively enhance their performance and patient outcomes. This issue will dig into the multidisciplinary approaches that contribute to the development of next-generation cardiac devices, highlighting cutting-edge research and emerging trends.
Key Research Topics:
- Advanced materials for cardiac device leads
- Advancement in leadless technologies and design
- Design improvements in cardiac leads
- Performance optimization in cardiac devices
- Technological integration in cardiac devices
- Clinical outcomes and case studies
- Regulatory and manufacturing considerations

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
