JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology is a specialist journal in the JACC family that encompasses all aspects of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It encourages submissions of original research and state-of-the-art reviews from cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, outcomes research, and related fields, as well as experimental and preclinical work directly related to diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. In general, case reports will not be considered for publication.
