Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce a new Special Issue of Applied Sciences dedicated to the cardiovascular system, especially emphasizing newer methods and analytical tools to evaluate it.
Healthy microcirculation is crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health and tissue survival, serving as the final vascular bed for nutrients and blood gas exchange. Dysfunctional microcirculation is often one of the earliest hallmarks of various diseases, underscoring the importance of understanding its (patho)physiological background.
Adequate functioning of the microvascular bed is imminently connected and dependent on other elements of the cardiovascular system, not to mention the venular system and the lymphatics that have often been overlooked.
Despite many efforts and daily achievements in developing new techniques for monitoring various aspects of the cardiovascular system, significant gaps remain, particularly concerning in vivo tracings essential for routine clinical practice.
This Special Issue aims to attract experts from various scientific fields, from theoretical approaches and mechanistic studies of the cardiovascular system to physicians involved in clinical practice and engineers developing mathematical models, advanced technological devices, and sophisticated signal analysis algorithms for hemodynamic monitoring. We welcome original research, review articles, and case reports that will contribute to expanding our knowledge of the cardiovascular system's functioning and tracing.
Dr. Helena Lenasi
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Applied Sciences 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.
