Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various non-cardiac diseases, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), sepsis, or burn injury, have been reported to induce cardiac dysfunction. Recently, we have witnessed the adverse cardiac effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Specifically, the mortality of COVID19 patients increases from 5% to 50% in patients with cardiac dysfunction. This special issue will cover studies on the effects of non-cardiac diseases on cardiac function. We will also cover the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the cardiac response to non-cardiac diseases and provide insights on cardio-protective therapeutic strategies. This special issue invites original research papers, review articles, commentaries, short communications, and perspective pieces on all aspects of the cardiac response to non-cardiac diseases, from basic to translational research both in vivo and in vitro.

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).
