Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The implantation of a cardiac device in patients with rhythm disturbances and heart failure is associated with a significant survival benefit and an improvement in cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, depending on the type of device. Because of technological advancements over the last two decades, there is a wide range of implantable cardiac device options for a wide range of clinical situations and indications. They range from pacemaker implantations for bradycardia and subsequent asymptomatic ventricular stimulation to implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) shock deliveries to heart-assisted devices (LVADs) that completely arrogate cardiac functions.
This Special Issue focuses on cardiac device therapy in a variety of interest areas: conduction system pacing in everyday clinical practice; implantable cardioverter defibrillator for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death among patients with cancer; leadless pacemaker–defibrillator systems; the efficacy and safety of extravascular ICDs; the status of enabling strategies for patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction; and left bundle branch pacing versus biventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy.

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 Cardiovascular Development and Disease 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.
