Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology is an international publication devoted to fostering research in and development of interventional techniques and therapies for the management of cardiac arrhythmias.

It is designed primarily to present original research studies and scholarly scientific reviews of basic and applied science and clinical research in this field.

The Journal will adopt a multidisciplinary approach to link physical, experimental, and clinical sciences as applied to the development of and practice in interventional electrophysiology.

The Journal will examine techniques ranging from molecular, chemical and pharmacologic therapies to device and ablation technology.

Accordingly, original research in clinical, epidemiologic and basic science arenas will be considered for publication.

Applied engineering or physical science studies pertaining to interventional electrophysiology will be encouraged.

The Journal is committed to providing comprehensive and detailed treatment of major interventional therapies and innovative techniques in a structured and clinically relevant manner.

It is directed at clinical practitioners and investigators in the rapidly growing field of interventional electrophysiology.

The editorial staff and board reflect this bias and include noted international experts in this area with a wealth of expertise in basic and clinical investigation.

Peer review of all submissions, conflict of interest guidelines and periodic editorial board review of all Journal policies have been established.
