Especially our journal home page promotes published articles classified as the following subjects: ECG for students and associated professionals, EPS and related devices for resident physicians, Basic Electrophysiology, Clinical Electrophysiology, Devices, Ablation, Basic Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology, Surgery, Pediatric, VT, and SCD.
These collections will be enriched in the future. Please enjoy the in-depth reviews in the collections, as well as original articles and editorials, which are all accessible.
We have also applied to PubMed Central for inclusion in their exceptional archive of journal literature. We eagerly look forward to their acceptance of our request.
In 2015, we plan to publish a special issue, “Device Infections,” edited by guest editor Takashi Kurita, FJCC, MD, PhD, of Kinki University. The in-depth articles therein will be introduced with the themes of “Prevention of device infection” and “Managements when a device infection occurs.”
