Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, representing a critical area in cardiovascular medicine where rapid advances in research and innovation can translate into lifesaving improvements in care. Over recent decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the complex pathophysiology of ACS, refining diagnostic strategies, and optimizing both pharmacologic and interventional therapies. Despite these advances, important challenges persist, such as residual risk, complications of therapy, disparities in access to care, and outcomes in understudied populations.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight cutting-edge research that addresses these challenges and advances our understanding of ACS. We invite original research, state-of-the-art reviews and meta-analyses focused on the latest evidence and emerging strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of ACS.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel biomarkers and imaging modalities for early detection and risk stratification
- Advances in cardiovascular therapy and personalized medicine
- Innovative interventional and pharmacological approaches
- Mechanistic insights into plaque rupture, thrombosis, and microvascular dysfunction
- Management of special and high-risk populations (e.g., women, older adults, patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease)
- Real-world implementation, health systems strategies, and disparities in ACS care
We look forward to receiving your contributions that will help shape the future of ACS research and clinical practice.
