Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is planning to launch a Special Issue that focuses on stroke and cerebrovascular disease. This Issue, we will highlight some of the recent developments in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of transient ischaemic attack, ischaemic stroke, intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage and cerebral venous thrombosis. These topics could include genetics, risk factors, epidemiology, imaging and other diagnostic tools, as well as various treatment modalities in the acute, subacute, and rehabilitative phases as well as in the long-term. For this Special issue, entitled “Reviews in Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease”, we invite you to contribute review articles in these and related areas to assist clinicians treating patients with strokes, as well as stroke researchers., as they strive to better manage their patients. Additionally, any new impactful knowledge that may reduce the risk, morbidity and mortality of this increasingly prevalent illness that is placing tremendous burdens on stroke survivors, family, community healthcare and social systems is 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. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease 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.

This review focuses on emerging risk factors for stroke, including air pollution and climate change, gut microbiota, high altitude, and systemic infection. Up to 14% of all stroke-associated mortality is attributed to air pollution and is more pronounced in developing countries. Fine particulate matter and other air pollutants contribute to an increased stroke risk, and this risk appears to increase with higher levels and duration of exposure. Short term air pollution exposure has also been reported to increase the stroke risk. The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem of bacteria and other microorganisms that reside in the digestive system and affect multiple body systems. Disruptions in the gut microbiota may contribute to stroke development, possibly by promoting inflammation and atherosclerosis. High altitudes have been associated with erythrocytosis and cerebrovascular sinus thrombosis, but several studies have reported an increased risk of thrombosis and ischemic stroke at high altitudes, typically above 3000 m. Systemic infection, particularly infections caused by viruses and bacteria, can also increase the risk of stroke. The risk seems to be greatest in the days to weeks following the infection, and the pathophysiology is complex. All these emerging risk factors are modifiable, and interventions to address them could potentially reduce stroke incidence. Full article
