Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide readers with a curated collection of high-quality review articles that highlight recent advances in cardiovascular genetics. As our understanding of the genetic basis of cardiovascular disease rapidly evolves, this issue will serve as a valuable reference point for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals seeking a deeper insight into the field’s most impactful developments.
We invite comprehensive review articles that address, but are not limited to, the following key topics:
- Polygenic Risk Scores in Clinical Practice: development, validation, and potential utility in risk stratification and preventive cardiology.
- Genome-Wide Association Studies and Rare Variant Discoveries: insights into the genetic architecture of cardiovascular diseases from common and rare genetic variants.
- Precision Medicine and Cardiovascular Pharmacogenomics: the application of genetic information to optimize drug efficacy and safety.
- Integration of Genomic and Exposomic Data: exploring how gene–environment interactions improve cardiovascular risk prediction and prevention strategies.
- Advanced Computational Approaches: the application of network-based models and artificial intelligence/machine learning to analyze multi-omic datasets for novel insights into disease mechanisms.
Dr. Maria Grazia Andreassi

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.
