Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, encompassing conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Despite significant advancements in diagnostics and therapeutic strategies, the global burden of CVDs continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need for deeper insights into their complex pathophysiology and the development of more effective, accessible, and personalized treatment approaches.
This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and comprehensive reviews that advance our understanding and offer emerging perspectives in the field of cardiovascular medicine. We welcome contributions that explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying CVDs, and novel pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, including those from complementary and alternative medicine, preclinical and clinical studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to address persistent challenges in CVD management.
By integrating diverse perspectives and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue seeks to enhance our collective knowledge and promote innovative, evidence-based solutions that bridge the gap between bench and bedside in cardiovascular disease management worldwide.
