Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex and heterogeneous condition. Etiologically based therapy is the best option. The molecular pathophysiology of CAD involves a combination of inflammatory processes, and lipid accumulation, which can lead to the progression of atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia, and adverse cardiovascular events, including heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Despite significant advancements in understanding these mechanisms, the relative roles of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and inflammatory pathways in disease initiation and progression remain subjects of ongoing debate.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the molecular pathophysiology and treatment of coronary artery-related diseases, including immune-related adverse events, coronary artery-related cardiovascular diseases. Research articles and reviews will inform you about recent developments and update the current stage of knowledge.
