Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, which are complex and multifunctional, rises as the mean age of the population increases. The size of the myocardial infarction remains a crucial therapeutic target, because it correlates with heart failure and mortality. Efforts are being directed towards the development of novel drugs via the physiochemical modification of drug molecules and the design and synthesis of new drugs, with an emphasis on drug delivery, controlled drug release, and the targeting of drugs to the site of action in order to enhance the therapeutic effect.
While numerous pre-clinical studies have revealed that certain pharmacologic agents and therapeutic maneuvers reduce the myocardial infarction size more significantly than reperfusion alone, very few of these therapies have translated into successful clinical trials or standard clinical application. The optimization of pharmacologic agents is critical to the development of diagnostic, treatment, and preventive strategies in the cardiology field. It is essential to promote the endogenous regeneration of the heart in order to improve the prognosis of patients with cardiac injury and to find effective therapeutic strategies for it.
This Special Issue focuses on the role of cardiovascular pharmacology and interventions in cardiac injury, aiming to elucidate pharmacologic strategies that may be employed to promote heart repair after cardiac injury.

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.
