Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in cardiovascular research and medicine have led to a decrease in morbidity and the mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and have partially shifted cardiovascular complications to the older population. However, there is not enough attention paid to the relationship between CVD and aging. Hypertension still represents the silent killer among CVDs and remains underdiagnosed in more than one third of the population. Sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy dietary habits lead to the development of atherosclerosis in the older population, thus further worsening CVD. This Special Issue focuses on the mechanisms underlying the development of CVD during aging, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, stress and other risk factors, as well as the factors implicated in improving patients’ quality of life. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of articles that present experimental studies and clinical trials, as well as case reports that disclose molecular pathophysiological mechanisms, novel molecular factors, drug interactions or possible adverse drug reactions to CVD therapy.

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.
