Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focus on cardiovascular diseases, especially on identifying health risks and understanding the determinants of potential abnormalities. We would like to understand the causes and effects of cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension, already occurring at the molecular level, while also wishing to encourage future researchers to understand and explore molecular analysis in depth in the aspect of public health.
Cardiovascular diseases result from complex dysfunctions of various pathways and pathomechanisms, and are the most common cause of mortality worldwide. Conducting continuous observations of the population's diet and assessing occupational exposures and environmental influences are key to identifying the health risks and understanding the determinants of potential abnormalities in the context of the development of diseases.
Deciphering at least some of the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease would open up new opportunities for prevention, promotion of healthy lifestyles and/or proper diagnosis of cardiovascular pathology.
In this Special Issue (including both known and yet undefined molecular aspects), I invite researchers to present their findings and new information, including pathomechanisms, biomarkers, and molecular insights, from public health perspectives for the entire spectrum of cardiovascular disease to new prevention concepts resulting from unhealthy lifestyles. New information, as well as interactions between dietary habits, lifestyle, and the cardiovascular system, are welcome.
I look forward to receiving the valuable contributions from researchers and academicians all around the world.
Dr. Angelika Edyta Charkiewicz

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
