Special Issue on Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) involves the reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle due to build up of plaque in the arteries of the heart. It is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases. Types include stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Risk factors for CAD include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and a family history of coronary artery disease. Treatment for CAD may involve lifestyle changes, medication, and medical procedures, such as angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery, to restore blood flow to the heart. Research in this field aims to improve the understanding, prevention, and treatment of CAD, as well as develop new diagnostic tools and therapies.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on Coronary Artery Disease. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Diagnosis and treatment
• Pathogenesis
• Pathophysiology
• Molecular mechanisms
• Genetics and epigenetics of CAD
• Epidemiological study
• Coronary bypass surgery
• Percutaneous coronary intervention
• Minimally invasive heart surgery
• Reconstructive surgery
• CAD and myocardial infarction
• Plaque formation and progression
• Metabolic abnormalities
• Imaging techniques
• Cardiac biomarker
• Antiplatelet therapy
• Rehabilitation and lifestyle interventions
• Risk factors and prevention strategies

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Coronary Artery Disease” should be chosen during your submission.
