Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, imposing a significant burden on healthcare systems and societies. Despite considerable advancements in prevention, diagnosis, and therapy, many challenges remain in understanding the complex mechanisms that drive cardiovascular pathology.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Advances in Cardiovascular Disease: Mechanisms and Treatments”, which aims to bring together cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews from experts in the field.
This Special Issue aims to provide an up-to-date overview of recent advances in the understanding of cardiovascular disease mechanisms and the development of novel diagnostic and treatment strategies. We welcome submissions encompassing basic, translational, and clinical research that explore the latest advances in the understanding of cardiovascular disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and treatment strategies.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cardiac and circulatory diseases;
- Inflammation and oxidative stress in cardiovascular pathology;
- Advances in cardiovascular imaging technologies and diagnostics;
- Regenerative medicine and precision cardiology;
- Gene therapy, RNA-based therapeutics, and epigenetics in CVD;
- Emerging pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions;
- Sex- and gender-related differences in cardiovascular disease;
- Multisystem Interactions and Comorbidities: cardiorenal syndrome, cardiometabolic and cardiohepatic syndromes, cardio-oncology and systemic diseases affecting cardiac function;
- Digital tools, machine learning and AI in cardiology.
Keywords: Cardiac and circulatory diseases; multisystem Interactions and Comorbidities; molecular mechanisms; cardiac imaging; novel therapies; regenerative medicine; health technologies.
