Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in women. There are well-described differences between men and women in epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and outcome of cardiac disease. Although risk factors responsible for CVD are between gender, their relative importance differs. The more atypical presentation of women makes the diagnostic evaluation of symptomatic women challenging to improve the precision of ischemic heart disease recognition. Women have more angina yet less obstructive coronary artery disease; therefore, women more often present with myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries (MINOCA) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. In comparison with men, pPCI for STEMI treatment in women is associated with a higher mortality that is not caused by the female gender per se but can be related to a disadvantageous risk profile and delayed presentation time, leading to a postponed treatment. Research efforts over the last decade have led to a comprehensive analysis of the more atypical symptom presentation in women, making the diagnostic evaluation challenging to improve the precision of ischemic heart disease recognition. The present Special Issue aims to overview the current knowledge, latest evidence, and unresolved issues in the field of percutaneous coronary interventions in women.
Therefore, I welcome the submission of innovative original research papers and in-depth review articles dealing with percutaneous coronary interventions in women and men, including evaluation of technical characteristics and third-generation stents, long-term outcomes according to clinical presentation, and physiologic assessment of microcirculatory dysfunction.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
