Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure is a serious disease that is increasing worldwide. The diagnosis and treatment of myocardial diseases such as cardiomyopathy and myocarditis, which are among the causative diseases of heart failure, are important. Recent advances in molecular and cellular biological understandings of the causes and pathophysiology of these diseases have led to the development of diagnostic methods and specific treatments.
Treatment methods based on the pathophysiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Fabry disease, and amyloidosis have been proposed and implemented in practice. Further developments in diagnostic and therapeutic methods in various cardiomyopathies, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, are expected in the future. In myocarditis and sarcoidosis, the involvement of immunity and cytokines is being elucidated, and further therapeutic advances are expected in the future. The development of tailor-made medicine based on genetic abnormalities and differences in immune and inflammatory mechanisms is awaited.
This Special Issue entitled “Myocardial Disease: Molecular Pathology and Treatments” welcomes original research and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic. Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, pure clinical or model studies will not suitable for our journal. However, clinical or pure model submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcomed.

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.
