Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vascular complications, though historically overshadowed by other cardiovascular concerns, have increasingly garnered attention due to their pivotal impact on arterial function and systemic health. The intricate interplay between maladaptive processes within arterial structures and their resultant implications for cardiovascular dynamics represents a burgeoning area of research, presenting multifaceted challenges and opportunities for investigation and intervention. The importance of this research area lies not only in unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying vascular complications but also in comprehensively understanding their ramifications on cardiovascular health. By elucidating the intricate links between these complications within arterial walls and the ensuing cascade of cardiovascular events, we aim to pave the way for innovative diagnostic modalities, novel therapeutic strategies, and preventive interventions.
The emergence of vascular complications as a prominent contributor to cardiovascular diseases has sparked profound interest and urgency within the medical and scientific communities. This Special Issue aims to delve into the intricate relationship between vascular complications and their significant role in shaping the landscape of cardiovascular health by serving as a forum for the exchange of cutting-edge research, encompassing diverse perspectives from esteemed experts in cardiology, oncology, vascular biology, and related disciplines. Through in-depth explorations of vascular complications as a pivotal player in cardiovascular diseases, we endeavor to not only expand the existing knowledge base but also to catalyze transformative advancements with far-reaching implications for clinical practice and patient care.
As we embark on this scientific journey, we invite contributions that delve into the complexities of vascular complications, from fundamental mechanistic insights to clinical implications, aiming to shape a deeper understanding of their role as a leading cause for cardiovascular diseases.
Original research articles, review articles, case studies and case series, perspective and opinion pieces, editorials, and commentaries on, but not limited to, the following research topics are welcomed:
- Studies on various complications such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, embolism, aneurysm, arterial occlusion and vascular stenosis, leading to reduced blood flow, hypertension, ischemia, tissue damage, pressure overload, or other maladaptive cardiovascular events.
- Pathophysiological mechanisms.
- Epidemiology and risk factors.
- Clinical implications and diagnostics.
- Therapeutic interventions.
- Translational research and theranostics.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
