Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiology is an emerging topic in the field of environmental sciences. An integrated exposomic view of the relation between environment and cardiovascular health is now requisite, considering both the effects of air and non-air related environmental stressors. Air temperature appears as the main environmental factor influencing cardiovascular mortality and thus air pollution has become a growing cardiovascular health concern. However, noise exposure is also associated with the increased risk of premature arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and stroke. Throughout the alimentation, the cardiovascular system is also exposed to persistent organic pollutants and plastic-associated chemicals. Survivors of nuclear explosion have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease since they are exposed to high levels of radiation. Exposure to electromagnetic fields, light, green space are also other factors affecting the cardiovascular health. Interestingly, most of these environmental triggers display no clear exposure threshold before adverse cardiovascular effects are observed.
This Special Issue of JCDD will consider the multifactorial nature of environmental stressors. Special attention will be paid on the pathophysiological and epidemiological synergistic effects of multiple pollutants exposure, the predisposal factors increasing cardiovascular vulnerability to pollutants, the qualitative aspects of pollutants such as the chemistry of particle matters or the acoustic characteristics of noise, the emerging environmental factors and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies.
We believe that this Special Issue will strengthen the scientific evidence of the detrimental effects of environmental pollution on the cardiovascular system and cater to the needs of the readers interested in environmental cardiology.

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.
