Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although the strong association between diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been well established and extensively studied over recent decades, emerging pathophysiological mechanisms and novel biomarkers and risk factors continue to shed new light on these links. These advancements are enhancing the development of innovative diagnostic tools and targeted therapies. In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, evidence-based medicine is evolving into precision medicine, offering more effective and individualized approaches with improved safety profiles. Given that CVD remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, the timely integration of precision medicine into cardiovascular care is imperative. This Special Issue will highlight recent breakthroughs in our understanding of these interconnected conditions and explore cutting-edge innovations in diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.
We welcome original research articles, review articles, and systematic reviews or meta-analyses that address the following topics:
- Novel insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms linking diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease;
- Emerging risk factors and biomarkers influencing diagnostic strategies, disease progression, and clinical outcomes;
- Recent advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological innovative treatments;
- The role of precision medicine and artificial intelligence in diagnostic procedures and therapeutic decisions.
We encourage submissions from researchers across diverse scientific fields, including cardiovascular medicine, interventional cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, and internal medicine.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
