Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a vast spectrum of pathogenic conditions that involve the heart and vessels, including congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, rheumatic heart disease, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, arterial hypertension, heart failure, and stroke. CVD remains the leading cause of death globally, accounting for one third of global deaths. Consequently, it places a tremendous burden on human healthcare systems. Because CVD is caused by both genetic and environmental pathogenic factors, a comprehensive understanding of its causes and mechanisms could improve early diagnosis and personalized treatment. This Special Issue will focus on genetics/genomics in CVD, aiming to bring novel insights into clinical practice. We strongly encourage research articles focusing on newly identified genetic causes, pathogeneses, molecular diagnostics, and medical management strategies in patients with CVD.
We hope this Special Issue will provide novel insights into molecular diagnosis and precision medicine in CVD. Authors can submit original research articles, reviews, case reports, and guidelines covering any aspect of this topic.
Prof. Dr. Yiqing Yang
