WASHINGTON (Nov. 13 2014) — The Journal of the American College of Cardiology collection continues to grow with the launch of JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, which will feature original research and review articles regarding cardiac rhythm disorders. David J. Wilber, MD, FACC, will serve as Editor-in-Chief of the new journal, which will begin publishing in March 2015 on a bimonthly basis.

“The addition of JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology to the JACC family will provide our members with important research in this field,” said ACC President Patrick O’Gara, MD, FACC. “Electrophysiology is an incredibly dynamic and rapidly growing specialty in cardiology and this new resource will be a valuable source of information for those in the field, as well as for general cardiologists.”
