Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well known, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding the pathophysiological processes that lead to the wide variety of these pathologies is essential to establishing the most appropriate treatments to combat them. In recent years, special interest has been gained in research into the subcellular processes associated with the pathophysiological particularity of each patient, with the aim of steering to more precise therapeutic strategies. This is why basic research into the cardiovascular pathophysiological intracellular signaling pathways and the molecular mechanisms involved in them is of crucial importance. Thus, this Special Issue welcomes articles that present new evidence that strengthens the knowledge of these pathophysiological mechanisms of the cardiovascular system, including cardiac and vascular excitation–contraction coupling dysfunction, endothelial damage, hypertension, heart failure, maladaptive hypertrophy, diabetic heart, and altered bioenergetics, among other mechanisms. In summary, this Special Issue aims to focus on both basic science and translational research to gain a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to cardiovascular diseases.

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.
