Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alterations in major hormonal patterns frequently impact patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD); examples include disorders of thyroid function in the context of arrhythmology or pituitary and adrenal pathologies in the context of the more resistant forms of hypertension, but—among them all—diabetes plays a preponderant role.
The diabetes is the main risk factor for the development of CVD, but at the same time, CVD is the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes. The close relationship between diabetes and the heart seems immediately clear.
With the proper control of blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure, the risk of CVD disease will be attenuated, but it cannot be completely suppressed. Therefore, more research is needed to understand the molecular mechanisms and interactions between diabetes and CVD, which will help reduce the burden of CVD and diabetes treatment.
An interdisciplinary evaluation allows the choice of the best therapy for patients with diabetes. The knowledge of cardiologic risk allows not only to adopt the most effective medication for diabetes control, but also the most suitable medication to reduce the risk of heart attack and/or decompensation; on the other hand, recognizing the presence and severity of diabetes allows the cardiologist to manage certain cardiovascular pathologies.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide useful tools in the field that treat CVD and diabetes for the proper monitoring and treatment of diabetes in patients with cardiovascular pathologies (e.g., chronic ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arterial hypertension, etc.).

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
