Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. They are a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. The pathogenic mechanism of CVDs is complex and multifactorial, involving a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Studying the pathogenic mechanism of CVDs is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. Understanding the underlying causes of CVDs can lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets and the development of novel drugs. Additionally, knowledge of the pathogenic mechanism can inform the development of targeted prevention and early detection programs, which can reduce the burden of CVDs on individuals and society.
Research on the pathogenic mechanism of CVDs has made significant progress in recent years, with the identification of novel risk factors and the discovery of new genetic and molecular mechanisms. However, much remains to be understood, and ongoing research is needed to further our understanding of the underlying causes of CVDs.
This special issue will gather articles on the research advancement in CVDs in terms of pathogenic mechanism, genetic association and novel therapeutical approach.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
