Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with oxidative stress, dysregulated lipid metabolism and biomarker alterations playing central roles in their pathogenesis and progression. Increasing evidence highlights the complex interplay between reactive oxygen species, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and lipid abnormalities in accelerating atherosclerosis, vascular injury and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. At the same time, advances in molecular biology and translational medicine have enabled the identification of novel biomarkers that may improve early detection, risk stratification, prognosis and therapeutic monitoring in cardiovascular disorders.
This Special Issue, “Oxidative Stress, Biomarkers and Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism in Cardiovascular Diseases”, aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and clinicians to present the latest discoveries related to the molecular mechanisms, diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets associated with cardiovascular diseases. The issue welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and clinical studies focusing on oxidative stress pathways, lipid metabolism, vascular dysfunction, inflammatory mediators and emerging cardiovascular biomarkers.
Through this collection, we hope to enhance the current understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology and stimulate future translational and clinical research that may contribute to the improved prevention, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases.

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.
