Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art of Cardiovascular Medicine in Asia. We invite research papers that will consolidate our understanding in this area. The Special Issue will publish full research articles and systematic reviews. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
• cardiovascular imaging
• high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
• cardiovascular tissue engineering
• meta‐analysis based on cardiovascular outcomes trials
• pathophysiology of chronic heart failure
• molecular genetics of cardiovascular disease: clinical implications
• cardiac arrhythmias
• biomarkers in Cardiovascular Medicine
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts on the subject “State-of-the-Art Cardiovascular Medicine in Asia 2021” for this Special Issue. Full papers and communications, as well as comprehensive reviews, are welcome. Please feel free to contact me, the guest editor, in case of further questions.
