Special Issue on Valvular Heart Disease

Valvular heart disease is any cardiovascular disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left side of heart and the pulmonic and tricuspid valves on the right side of heart). These conditions occur largely as a consequence of aging, but may also be the result of congenital (inborn) abnormalities or specific disease or physiologic processes including rheumatic heart disease and pregnancy.

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

• Valvular atrial fibrillation
• Valvular surgery
• Valvular regurgitation
• Valvuloplasty
• Mitral valve replacement
• Aortic valve disorders
• Pulmonary valve implantation
• Aortic stenosis
• Congenital abnormalities
• Cardiovascular imaging
• Diagnosis and treatment
• Causes and risk factors

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 – Valvular Heart Disease” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
