Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases, which include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and other conditions, represent the leading cause of death worldwide. Stroke and ischemic diseases are among the top 10 diseases regarding mortality rate worldwide, and these conditions are also consequences of hypertension. Since there are several behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco consumption, and the harmful use of alcohol, associated with hypertension, diabetes, and excess weight, the treatment for these pathologies can be very complex. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases could significantly contribute to more effective treatment and to a reduction in premature deaths from these diseases. Animal models are useful as they represent the main strategy for exploring the different mechanisms involved in cardiovascular diseases. Overall, this Special Issue invites you and your colleagues to share your expertise and knowledge by submitting original research articles, systematic reviews, and review articles that report new ideas and recent advances related to this topic.
