About this Research Topic
This research topic will broadly cover areas including mechanisms of cardiovascular drug action, cell signaling, autonomic pharmacology, cardiac pharmacology, endothelial and smooth muscle cell pharmacology, hemostasis and thrombosis, blood vessel wall interactions, and mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac, diabetic complications, renal, pulmonary and vascular disease, etc. We welcome articles from experimental studies from related areas such as physiology, pathophysiology, immunology, metabolism, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling, cellular and molecular biology, or genetics as they relate to new understandings of pathogenic and pharmacological mechanisms. It also welcomes work that uses cutting-edge approaches - such as scRNA-seq, multi-omics analysis, live imaging, and statistical modeling - to increase our understanding of cardiovascular pharmacology. We aim to promote discovery, dissemination of knowledge, and advances in the field of cardiovascular pharmacology.
In this research topic, we welcome original research articles, reviews and mini-reviews, methods, hypothesis and theory articles, and other article types focused on (but not limited to) the following areas:
1. Characterize new therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases.
2. Drug’s molecular, biochemical, and physiologic effects or actions in cardiovascular
diseases.
3. Novel diagnostic approaches or methods for monitoring cardiovascular diseases.
4. The role of different cell types, such as macrophages, endothelial cells, and smooth
muscle cells, in cardiovascular pharmacology.
5. Studies on drug tolerability, safety, and efficacy in cardiovascular pharmacology.
6. Pharmacokinetics studies, including drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and
excretion (ADME) in cardiovascular diseases.
Keywords: novel therapeutics, cardiovascular pharmacology, drug development, cardiovascular disease, drug action, statistical modeling
