Special Issue Information
Dear Scientists,
Due to the success of our previous Guest Editor activities, we considered it important to launch a new Special Issue on “Atherosclerosis”. Although much progress has been achieved in recent years, there is no doubt that intensive efforts are necessary to improve treatment of cardiovascular disease, which is still increasing in numerous countries. The reasons for that are manifold and include not only epigenetic phenomena but also the progress of civilization, the vast supply of unhealthy food, the surge of pollution, and the increase in sedentary life-style. It is therefore of eminent importance to bring leading scientists working in this field together to contribute with their expertise to this endeavor. We invite you to submit your high-quality research on all aspects of atherosclerosis, including genetic and epigenetic aspects, primary and secondary dyslipidemias, risk-factor screening, nutrition, and drug treatment. We accept original articles and reviews that highlight new advancements in atherosclerosis.

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.
