Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue “Recent Advances in Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease”, published in 2022–2024.
Hypertension (HT) remains the most important risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and peripheral vascular disease, as well as for chronic kidney disease (CKD). On the other hand, CKD is an independent risk factor for the development of—often, more severe—coronary artery disease, and CKD is also associated with adverse outcomes in those with existing cardiovascular disease. HT is a very common symptom in patients with CKD. It affects approximately 80 to 85 percent of this population. CVD consistently remains the leading cause of death worldwide; therefore, it is extremally important to know the pathophysiology, molecular mechanisms, and biomarkers of cardiovascular disorders as well as other diseases leading to the development of CVD.
This Special Issues focuses on the pathophysiology, molecular mechanisms, and biomarkers of hypertension and CVD, with particular emphasis on chronic kidney disease, providing better knowledge regarding their development and consequently contributing to more effective prevention, the earliest diagnosis, and thus, appropriate treatment.
We warmly welcome submissions, including original papers and reviews, regarding this widely discussed topic. Data related to molecular mechanisms or pathophysiology are essential, and papers that only contain clinical trials/data are not acceptable.
Prof. Dr. Edyta Zbroch
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
