Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In cardiology practice, new imaging, genetic screening, and gadgets are becoming more and more important for treating individual patients. The difficulty of using a patient's whole range of measures to decide the best course of therapy appears to be paradoxically growing as the amount of imaging and other diagnostic data rises, accompanied by the increased ability to customize treatment.
Computational models, which provide a common framework for merging diverse patient data sets, are progressively addressing this issue. These models, which are based on physiology and physics rather than population statistics, enable computational simulations to predict treatment outcomes for specific patients and reveal diagnostic data that would have been concealed otherwise.
The "Basic and Translational Cardiovascular Research" section of JCDD includes research on the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases and the basic scientific principles of cardiovascular medicine. Transforming the latest findings from the bench to the clinic, the investigations in this part generally examine the cardiovascular system from the molecular, protein, cellular, tissue-engineering, organ, and/or animal model levels.
We welcome submissions of manuscripts that cover relevant topics, including but not limited to the following: Congenital heart disease, heart failure, regeneration, biomarkers, cardiac fibrosis, transcriptional regulation, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, gene regulation, transcription factors, epigenetics, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, epigenetic regulation, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, zebrafish, cardiac biology, stem cells, conduction system, bioprostheses, cardiac regeneration, tissue engineering, and disease modeling.

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. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
