Dear Colleagues,

Myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease-related morbidity and mortality in the developed world and has maintained its status as a major international health problem despite exceptional recent advances in its diagnosis and treatment.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the latest research in the field of myocardial infarction. We encourage the coverage of a wide range of topics and perspectives, including current progress in basic science, the underlying mechanisms of myocardial infarction, and areas such as immunomodulation, endothelial function, and genetics.

Furthermore, this issue welcomes cutting-edge review articles and original research papers on the most recent developments and future perspectives in diagnostic (e.g., artificial intelligence, deep learning, and neural networks) and therapeutic strategies (e.g., particular invasive reperfusion strategies, mechanical circulatory support, and cardiogenic shock management) for acute myocardial infarction.

Contributions may be related to any aspect of AMI (e.g., secondary prevention strategies, telemedicine, long-term prognosis, or nationwide surveys) and should expand on the existing knowledge surrounding such topics.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
