Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure is a complex growing global health problem with a high mortality rate and significant morbidity. Basic and transitional research in this field has provided valuable insights into the molecular, cellular, and physiological changes that occur in cardiomyopathy and heart failure. However, further research is needed to unravel the intricate mechanisms involved and identify novel therapeutic targets that can improve outcomes for patients with heart failure. This Special Issue seeks to address the underlying mechanisms behind the development and progression of various cardiomyopathies and heart failure, shedding light on novel therapeutic approaches to improve patient outcomes.
This issue, “Heart Failure Mechanisms and Treatment Advances”, calls for original research articles from researchers in the field of cardiology and related disciplines. Contributions may cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the pathophysiology of heart failure, cellular and molecular mechanisms involved, genetic and epigenetic factors, biomarkers for early detection and prognosis, novel imaging techniques for assessing cardiac function, and emerging treatment strategies. We encourage you to share your expertise and contribute original articles that advance our knowledge of heart failure mechanisms and highlight the latest advances in treatment options.

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.
