Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of digital health technologies is transforming cardiovascular care. Wearable devices, implantable sensors, mobile health applications, and artificial intelligence–driven analytics are enabling continuous remote monitoring of patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. These innovations are redefining disease management by facilitating early detection of clinical deterioration, improving patient engagement, and supporting data-driven therapeutic decisions.

Heart failure and arrhythmias remain leading causes of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality worldwide. Traditional episodic care models are increasingly complemented by remote monitoring systems capable of tracking heart rhythm, hemodynamics, physical activity, and other physiological parameters in real time. Digital cardiology tools—including smartwatches, patch monitors, implantable loop recorders, and remote device interrogation platforms—offer new opportunities to optimize treatment, prevent readmissions, and personalize long-term management strategies.

Despite these advances, important challenges remain, including data integration, clinical validation, regulatory considerations, cybersecurity, patient adherence, and equitable access to digital technologies.

This Special Issue aims to explore the expanding role of digital cardiology and wearable technologies in improving outcomes for patients with heart failure and arrhythmias. We welcome high-quality submissions addressing, but not limited to:

  • Wearable and implantable cardiac monitoring technologies 
  • Remote monitoring in heart failure management 
  • Digital detection and management of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias 
  • Artificial intelligence and predictive analytics in cardiology 
  • Telecardiology and virtual care models 
  • Implantable device remote interrogation and optimization 
  • Digital biomarkers and risk stratification 
  • Impact of remote monitoring on hospitalization and mortality 
  • Ethical, regulatory, and implementation challenges 

Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging digital strategies that are shaping the future of cardiovascular care and improving patient-centered outcomes.

We invite original research articles, clinical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and comprehensive review articles.

Benefits

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

Publishing in a Special Issue provides valuable advantages for authors by strengthening the reach, impact, and recognition of their research within the global scientific community.

Focused Thematic Visibility

Special Issues organize articles around a clearly defined research theme, making it easier for readers to locate relevant work within broad-scope journals. This structured format enhances topic-based exploration and improves the overall reading experience.

Enhanced Discoverability and Citation Potential

By consolidating related studies into a single curated collection, Special Issues significantly increase article visibility. Concentrated thematic exposure often leads to higher readership, improved engagement, and greater citation impact.

Strengthened Research Collaboration

Special Issues bring together experts and emerging scholars working in similar domains. This promotes academic dialogue, encourages interdisciplinary exchange, and supports the development of long-term research collaborations.

Active Promotion and Wider Reach

Articles published in Special Issues are frequently promoted through journal platforms, newsletters, and social media channels, expanding their audience and scientific influence.

Extended Dissemination Opportunities

High-quality Special Issue collections may be considered for additional publication formats or broader distribution initiatives, further extending the visibility of the research.

Continuous Publication and Accessibility

Accepted manuscripts are published online promptly and added to the Special Issue collection on a rolling basis, ensuring immediate availability and sustained accessibility for the research community.
