Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular dysfunctions are affecting more and more people all over the world and are considered the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Countless risk factors can predispose one to the development of cardiac disorders including both genetic conditions and environmental causes. Additionally, as a problem of accelerated civilization, it has become clear that unhealthy lifestyle choices can further deteriorate cardiac health. However, the multifactorial nature of cardiovascular diseases makes diagnosis and treatment quite challenging. Therefore, a deeper understanding of specific molecular and cellular processes underlying cardiac diseases is pivotal. We believe that with newly acquired knowledge it is possible to develop high-potential diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies and thus improve personalized medicine.
We invite investigators to contribute research papers as well as review articles that develop a greater understanding of any aspect of this topic, including basic science or clinical studies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Identifying new signaling pathways behind cardiovascular complications mediated by oxidants and inflammatory markers.
- Potential diagnostic tools (biochemical markers, cardiac imaging) that may help the early detection of cardiovascular diseases.
- Novel therapeutic interventions against CVDs, including pharmacological, invasive and non-invasive therapy.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
