Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Increasing rates of diabetes, the disproportionate growth of hypertension in low- and middle-income countries, coupled with an expanding life expectancy, predict continued worldwide growth of cardiovascular disease for decades to come. The rationale development of effective treatments and diagnostic tools for this emerging epidemic requires an understanding of the molecular basis of cardiovascular disease.
This special issue of Biomolecules seeks original research papers and reviews covering current and emerging topics related to the Molecular Basis of Cardiovascular Diseases. Established areas including ischemia-perfusion injury associated with myocardial infarction and cardiac surgery are encouraged, as are traditionally under-represented topics like sex differences in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Emerging challenges such as the role of environmental pollutants on cardiovascular health and disease development provide an excellent prospect to expand the scope of cardiovascular medicine, and are welcome for consideration in this special issue. Finally, research that transcends disciplinary boundaries including cardio-oncology and cardio-obstetrics offer the unique opportunity to bring new perspectives to the forefront.
Original research studies and reviews are encouraged to cover the scope of health and disease, from patient to molecule, but with a focus on the molecular basis of disease. We look forward to considering all submissions and working to improve our understanding the Molecular Basis of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Dr. Glen Pyle
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
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). 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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
