Since the inauguration of Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Review in 2012, our Editorial Board has been one of the strengths of the journal. Highly esteemed colleagues in the field of electrophysiology and arrhythmia, in general, have honoured us by participating in the Editorial Board and actively contributing to the scientific status of the journal by submitting their work, reviewing papers, and reflecting upon our continually evolving faculty. In an era of revolutionary changes,1 it has been our institutional policy to renew our Editorial Board at predetermined time intervals; this allows us to include new motivated colleagues, and deliver long-standing members from the time-consuming tasks emanating from their commitment. The editorial staff and myself are deeply in gratitude to all those who have supported our vision of uncompromised excellence in publishing all these years.
We are all also deeply honoured by the willingness of newly invited colleagues to support our cause by joining our ranks. It is indeed a privilege and a pleasure, to welcome on board some big names in contemporary electrophysiology. Ed Rowland, Pier Lambiase, David Callans, Andrea Natale and John Miller need no introduction to our community. Most of them kindly contributed to the AER issue (6.1) dedicated to the late, and sorely missed, Mark Josephson,2–5 and now the appearance of their names in our Editorial Board gives additional credit to the journal. I welcome them all, and look forward to a fruitful and enjoyable collaboration.
