Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac diseases form the majority of the global disease burden, owing to the paradigm shift from infectious diseases to non-infectious diseases. The prevalence of CVDs has nearly doubled, increasing from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019. The advent of precision medicine in cardiology has ignited new possibilities for individually personalized, integrative, and patient-centric approaches to disease prevention and treatment. The major objective of this Special Issue was to compile the evolving relevant tools of precision medicine that can help with the evidence-based precise individualized diagnosis of cardiac diseases with the highest DALY. In particular, in this Special Issue, we analyse the role of precision medicine in the diagnosis of aortopathy and heart failure. We are also interested in inflammatory (TLR-4, interleukine, chemochine, linfocite) and non-inflammatory biomarkers (genetic patterns), in addition to the following prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers of heart failure: NPs (natriuretic peptide), MR-proANP (mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide), IGFBP7 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7), Procalcitonina, NPs (natriuretic peptide), hs-cTn (high-sensivity cardiac troponin), sST2 (soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity-2), Gal-3* (Galectina-3), NPs (natriuretic peptide), bio-ADM (bio-adrenomedullin), CA-125 (Cancer antigen 125) and DPP3 (Dipeptidyl peptidase 3).

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.
