Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in cardiovascular research and medicine have led to a decrease in morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and partially shifted cardiovascular complications to older population. However, there is not enough attention given to the relation of CVD and aging. Hypertension still represents the silent killer among CVD and remains underdiagnosed in more than one third of population. Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy dietary habits led to development of atherosclerosis in older population further worsening CVD. This special issue focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of CVD during aging and factors involved in improvement of quality of life. Outcomes of experimental studies and clinical trials as well as case reports that disclose molecular pathophysiological mechanisms, new molecular factors, drug interactions or possible adverse drug reactions in therapy of CVD and aging 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. 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.
