Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular immunology is a young but rapidly expanding field of research. While inflammation has been understood to be a critical aspect of atherosclerosis for some time, cardiology has only recently realized the critical importance of the immune system to the heart itself. They are entwined in a bidirectional crosstalk, and the border between immunology and cardiology is becoming increasingly blurry. This has sparked new and exciting research endeavours, and significant hope that the first immunomodulatory treatment for cardiology patients will soon see the light of day.
In this Special Issue, we invite contributions on all topics related to cardiovascular immunology that are relevant to the heart. These may include clinical and experimental research on the immunology of cardiac conditions, including ischaemic, infectious and inflammatory/autoimmune heart disease and the role of the immune system in heart failure.
In this Special Issue, we also aim to shine a light on the exciting research happening across the world, and we particularly encourage researchers from underrepresented groups and areas to submit their work.
