Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The cardiopulmonary system includes the heart, blood vessels and blood, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The central function of the cardiopulmonary system involves a process that centers upon the connection between the heart and lungs through the pulmonary artery, enabling the efficient movement of blood to and from the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

Cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease are complicated. There are a series of molecules and complex intracellular mechanisms in the cells of the heart and blood vessel walls that cause cells to respond inappropriately to external stimulation. Cells involved in the defective regulation respond to changes in their local environment through the activation of molecules. Defects in these mechanisms can lead to cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease. The study of signal transduction pathways in the cardiopulmonary system is important because it can provide more drug targets and methods for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease by elucidating the pathophysiology of signal transduction and the coordinated responses of multiple signaling pathways.

This Special Issue focuses on multiple aspects of the signal transduction of cells in the cardiopulmonary system, especially in cardiac arrhythmia and pulmonary hypertension, and will accept original studies and reviews in the field of the pathophysiology of signal transduction in cardiovascular and pulmonary disease, written by scientists active in the field.
