New Insights into Mechanisms and Therapeutics for Cardiovascular Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiovascular disease includes heart failure, ischemia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart valve disease, pericarditis, rheumatic heart disease, stroke, and other disorders as well as cardiovascular complications in comorbidity to common major disease, eg DM-diabetic cardiomyopathy or AD-cardiac amyloidosis as examples of the most common types. Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms is necessary for developing effective therapeutics. This requires both experimental and computational research modalities spanning scales from the molecular level to the organ system level. Hence, insights can be gained through detailed studies at a particular scale and integration studies that span scales. Advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease require research from basic science and translational research to clinical studies. This is reflected in recent advances in molecular biomarkers that provide both mechanistic insight as well as clinically actionable treatment strategies.

This Special Issue of Biomolecules will highlight new insights into the mechanisms and therapeutics developed to manage cardiovascular disease. Both new research papers and reviews describing the state of the art in the field and important new directions are welcome.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
