Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases, which include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and other conditions, represent the leading cause of death worldwide. Among the top 10 diseases that lead the mortality rate worldwide, stroke and ischemic diseases are included here and are also consequences of hypertension. Since there are several behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco consumption, and harmful use of alcohol, associated with hypertension, diabetes, and excess weight, the treatment for these pathologies can be very complex. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms could significantly contribute to more effective treatment and to a reduction in premature deaths from cardiovascular diseases. Animal models are useful as they represent the main strategy for exploring the different mechanisms involved in cardiovascular diseases. Overall, this Special Issue invites you and your colleagues to share your expertise and knowledge by submitting original research articles, systematic reviews, and review articles that report new ideas and recent advances on this topic.

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. Biomedicines 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.
