Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomedical science has shown that atherosclerosis is the protagonist of cardiovascular events. Even if many researchers have focused their attention on the physiopathological mechanisms that drive atherosclerosis, many aspects are still unknown. At the same time, physicians now have different therapeutic options compared to the past. This Special Issue aims to deepen the unresolved aspects regarding atherosclerosis and draw attention to the current therapeutic strategies and physiopathological mechanisms, inspiring researchers and physicians around the world to conduct new studies and provide the best possible treatment for their patients.
