Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in veterinary patients. In the past decade, substantial research efforts have amassed a greater understanding of the genetic etiology, novel therapeutic options, and cellular mechanisms of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases across species. However, major knowledge gaps in key areas such as genotype-to-phenotype relationships, disease pathogenesis, and novel drug kinetics remain. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide individuals at the forefront of veterinary cardiology research a unique opportunity to showcase molecular and cellular advances in these developing fields. We invite you to submit novel discoveries in cardiovascular genetics and genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and molecular biology as they relate to veterinary medicine.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
