Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue entitled “Innovation and Translation in Cardiovascular Interventions.” This Special Issue will focus on recent advances that are shaping the field of cardiovascular therapy, spanning the full spectrum from preclinical discovery to real-world clinical application.
Cardiovascular interventions continue to evolve rapidly, driven by technological breakthroughs, novel device development, pharmacologic innovation, and an improved understanding of pathophysiology. This Special Issue aims to showcase original research, high-quality reviews, and perspective articles that highlight how innovative strategies are improving patient outcomes and translating into practice.
We invite contributions on topics including (but not limited to) the following:
- Development and evaluation of new interventional devices and technologies.
- Image-guided and physiology-guided percutaneous procedures.
- Drug–device combinations and bioresorbable platforms.
- Translational research bridging preclinical and clinical cardiovascular science.
- Novel pharmacologic approaches supporting interventional strategies.
- Advances in structural heart interventions.
- Artificial intelligence and digital health applications in interventional cardiology.
- Health economics, implementation science, and registries evaluating innovation adoption.
Article Types:
- Original research articles;
- Systematic and narrative reviews;
- Short communications;
- Technical notes and perspectives.
We invite you and your colleagues to submit your work and share your insights with the international cardiovascular research community
Dr. Jacek Bil
Guest Editor
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. Life 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 2600 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.
