Advances in Cardiovascular Disease: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, presenting major challenges in its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that advance our understanding of cardiovascular disease, ranging from fundamental mechanisms to emerging therapeutic strategies. Topics of interest include vascular biology, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, immunothrombosis, cardiac and vascular remodeling, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and metabolic dysregulation in cardiovascular pathology. We also encourage submissions exploring biomarkers, extracellular vesicles, omics-based approaches, precision medicine, and innovative pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions with translational or clinical relevance. Studies addressing disease mechanisms, risk stratification, early detection, and novel therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disorders are particularly welcome. By bringing together mechanistic, translational, and clinically oriented research, this Special Issue aims to highlight current advances and future directions in cardiovascular medicine.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
