Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite remarkable advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The pathophysiology of AMI involves complex mechanisms, including atherosclerotic plaque rupture, endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis, and inflammatory responses. While timely reperfusion therapy has significantly improved survival, long-term outcomes are still compromised by complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and recurrent ischemic events. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge contributions addressing the multifaceted aspects of AMI, from molecular and cellular mechanisms to translational and clinical applications. We particularly welcome studies exploring novel biomarkers, preventive strategies, emerging pharmacological agents, and innovative interventional or regenerative therapies. Reviews and original research are encouraged to foster a comprehensive understanding of AMI and promote novel therapeutic perspectives. By uniting interdisciplinary expertise, this Special Issue will serve as a platform to advance the field and improve patient.
