Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,  

Heart failure represents the epidemic of the third millennium in terms of prevalence, costs, and mortality. Despite prevention, efficient screening, and early-treatment programs, heart failure is still a major problem for both physicians and healthcare systems. At the molecular level, heart failure involves intricate mechanisms of cardiac remodeling, including cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis, and fibrosis. This Special Issue, titled “Molecular Research into Chronic Heart Failure”, aims to stimulate comprehensive research to understand the molecular mechanism involved in cardiac remodeling.  This Special Issue will accept articles on the pathophysiology of heart failure, its etiology, and the molecular mechanisms underlying it. This Special Issue aims to focus on basic science, translational research, and clinical evidence in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology of heart failure, considering all aspects of this complex puzzle. We look forward to receiving your contributions. 

Dr. Velia Cassano

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
