Current Advances in Cardiovascular Disease Research

Dear Colleagues,

Every country invests a lot of research funds into the field of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs); however, CVDs still remain an important clinical issue in the world despite significant progress in prevention and therapeutic management. Only through continuous efforts in basic research can we have the opportunity to apply research results in clinical practice. Subsequently, numerous research studies are being conducted to verify their effects clinically. This Special Issue will cover recent CVD research advances, including basic and clinical studies, with a particular emphasis on ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and heart failure. Advancement in cardiac invasive and non-invasive image modalities are also welcomed. Recently, sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors have been shown to have benefits in CVD; therefore, articles relating to this topic are also welcomed as a part of this Special Issue.

We look forward to receiving your contributions, including review articles, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, and observational studies.
