Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Aims & Scope

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology will include articles related to research in and the practice of clinical cardiac electrophysiology and the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias, including observational studies, clinical trials, epidemiology, and advances in applied (translational) research.

Submitted manuscripts are examined by the editorial staff and usually evaluated by expert reviewers assigned by the editors.

Both clinical and basic articles will be subject to statistical review, when appropriate.

Provisional or final acceptance is based on originality, scientific content, and topical balance of the journal.

Decisions are communicated by email, generally within six weeks.
