Isomeric states in atomic nuclei are a well-known phenomenon all over the complete chart of nuclei. Their properties deliver valuable information on the structure of the nuclei. A region of specific interest are the very heavy and superheavy nuclei, where the occurrence and properties of isomeric states will have an impact on the prediction of localization and strength of the spherical superheavy proton and neutron shells. In this review, an overview of the present situation is given. Some specific features are discussed for selected examples.
