Journal of Arrhythmia

Aims & Scope

Journal of Arrhythmia, the official journal of the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society and the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society, aims to provide a scientific platform on which to promote excellence and advancement in the study and care of patients with cardiac rhythm disorders.

The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original clinical and basic research articles, along with case reports on all aspects of cardiac pacing and cardiovascular electrophysiology devoted to the ongoing developments of diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmia.

Also included are reviews, editorials, ECGs for students and associated professionals, EPS and related devices for resident physicians, and basic science information for clinicians.

Much of the contributed material is requested, but unsolicited submissions are welcome and will be given full consideration.
