Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, claiming an estimated 18 million lives annually. Despite extensive research, gaining novel insights into the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of CVDs through basic and clinical research is crucial. This effort is essential for identifying new diagnostic/prognostic tools and for developing therapeutic strategies that enhance patient management and outcomes.
The integration of multi-omics data (including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) offers a holistic perspective on patients, providing insights into the regulatory mechanisms, pathways, and networks involved in the development and progression of CVDs. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful framework that is capable of recognizing complex patterns within large-scale clinical and molecular data. Its potential to improve risk prediction is substantial, allowing for the identification of biomarkers for more accurate diagnoses, the prediction of treatment outcomes, and the development of novel therapies for personalized approaches.
For this Special Issue, we invite investigators to contribute original research and review papers. Our aim is to cover the most recent scientific advances related to the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying CVDs.

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-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.
