Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Noncommunicable diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases are the main leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hypertension is the main aggravating risk factors and can negatively impact the incidence, severity, and clinical course of several types of cardiovascular disease, directly contributing to a complex set of pathological interactions. The relationship between hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders can lead to a higher risk of undesirable outcomes in several patient groups. Moreover, hypertension is also considered an independent determinant of cardiovascular disease. Among the therapeutic options available to treat hypertension, synthetic drugs, as well as herbal medicines, stand out. Medicinal plants have been applied since ancient times and remain a significant therapeutic resource worldwide. Despite their widespread use, many compounds have not experienced careful scientific investigation, whether they are studies of efficacy, toxicity, or drug-to-drug interactions. In addition, there are systematic efforts to discover new therapeutic options for the prevention and treatment of hypertension.
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite investigators to submit preclinical or clinical studies focusing on the pharmacological advances for the treatment of hypertension
We will consider both original research and review articles.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Animal models of cardiovascular disease associated with hypertension;
- Isolation and characterization of natural products with antihypertensive effects;
- News synthetic drugs useful in the treatment of hypertension;
- Preclinical and clinical trials of synthetic drugs and plant-derived medicines such as antihypertensive agents;
- Systematic or narrative reviews of synthetic drugs and natural products with antihypertensive properties;
- Synergistic effects of synthetic drugs and natural products on hypertension treatment.
