Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hypertension remains a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and mortality worldwide, affecting over 1.5 billion people globally. The complexity of its etiology involves genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, making it a multifaceted health issue. Recent advancements in research have facilitated a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying hypertension, leading to innovative therapeutic approaches and improved management strategies. Among the critical components under investigation is the area of sex differences in hypertension. It has become increasingly evident that there are significant biological and sociocultural differences between men and women that influence the prevalence, pathophysiology, and treatment responses associated with hypertension. This special issue aims to compile cutting-edge research that reflects recent advances in hypertension, providing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates findings from clinical, translational, and basic research.
The proposed special issue will focus on a variety of recent advances in the field of hypertension, encouraging submissions that highlight both basic and clinical research, including but not limited to the following areas:
- Pathophysiology: New insights into the biological mechanisms driving hypertension, including the role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), insulin resistance with associated hyperinsulinemia, endothelial dysfunction, and neurohormonal influences with consideration of how these mechanisms differ between sexes.
- Sex Differences in Hypertension: Exploration of how sex influences the incidence, progression, and severity of hypertension, including hormonal effects, variations in vascular function, and differences in cardiovascular remodeling.
- Novel Therapeutic Targets: Examination of how emerging pharmacological agents may yield different efficacy and side effects based on the patient’s sex and hormonal status.
- Precision Medicine in Hypertension: Studies focusing on personalized treatment strategies informed by sex-specific genetic and phenotypic characteristics of patients.
- Technological Innovations*: The role of digital health technologies and wearable devices in monitoring and managing hypertension, with a focus on sex-differences in user engagement and outcomes.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
