Heart Failure Pathogenesis and Management

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is launching a Special Issue on “Heart Failure Pathogenesis and Management”. Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. With the aging population, increasing prevalence of diabetes, and better therapies for acute coronary syndromes the number of patients with heart failure will continue to increase at a staggering rate. At the same time, there have been several major advancements in our understanding of heart failure pathogenesis, which have led to novel therapeutic approaches. With this Special Issue, we aim to present the most up-to-date information about heart failure development, diagnosis, and management. Insights into both heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) will be included. In addition, exciting new developments in the molecular pathogenesis of adverse cardiac remodeling will be emphasized.
