Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmia remain two of the main challenges for modern medicine: survival after cardiac arrest is still low and the best way to prevent and treat ventricular arrhythmias can be improved.

Research on cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmia should focus on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these life-threatening conditions.

We would like to cover all the above-mentioned topics, from prevention to diagnosis and treatment, to enhance the knowledge on cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmias in order to improve patient outcome. Particular attention will be paid to new technology and strategies, such as non-invasive ablation and neuromodulation.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background: Basic life support (BLS) is a life-saving link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest chain of survival. Most members of the public are capable of providing BLS but are more likely to do so confidently and effectively if they undertake BLS training. Lay members of the public comprise diverse and specific populations and may benefit from tailored BLS training. Data on this topic are scarce, and it is completely unknown if there are any benefits arising from tailored courses or for whom course adaptations should be developed. Methods: The primary objective of this scoping review was to identify and describe differences in patient, clinical, and educational outcomes when comparing tailored versus standard BLS courses for specific layperson populations. This review was undertaken as part of the continuous evidence evaluation process of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. Results: A primary search identified 1307 studies and after title, abstract, and full-text screening, we included eight publications reporting on tailored courses for specific populations. There were no studies reporting direct comparisons between tailored and standardized training. Seven (88%) studies investigated courses tailored for individuals with a disability, and only one study covered another specific population group (refugees). Overall, the quality of evidence was low as the studies did not compare tailored vs. non-tailored approaches or consisted of observational or pre–post-designed investigations. Conclusions: Tailored BLS education for specific populations is likely feasible and can include such groups into the pool of potential bystander resuscitation providers. Research into comparing tailored vs. standard courses, their cost-to-benefit ratio, how to best adapt courses, and how to involve members of the respective communities should be conducted. Additionally, tailored courses for first responders with and without a duty to respond could be explored. Full article
