Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atherosclerosis now encompasses the major contributor to a global epidemic of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Previously, after lifestyle measures, non-invasive therapeutic intervention for atherosclerosis focused mainly on pharmacologically limiting risk factors such as arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. Nevertheless, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and other novel contributors provide a set of pathways that link traditional risk factors to promote the disease and its complications. Rapidly accelerating knowledge and continued research promise to provide further progress in preventing this common chronic disease.
The special issue on “New Frontiers in Atherosclerosis” welcomes submissions in this field and will focus on the innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies on the topic of atherosclerosis. Original research papers, short communications, or focused reviews regarding diagnostic, treatment, prognosis and management of atherosclerosis are invited for submission.
