Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death in the world. Lipid management is essential to prevent ASCVD. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering therapy with statins is the cornerstone for lipid therapy in clinical practice but there are still unmet needs to reduce the risk of ASCVD. It remains unclear as to whether elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), elevated triglycerides (TG), and non-HDL LDL-C increase the risk for ASCVD, valvular heart disease, and cardiomyopathies and what the optimal treatment goals for preventing ASCVD, and valvular heart disease should be.

This Special Issue " Lipoproteins and lipids in cardiovascular disease " will collect high-quality original research papers and comprehensive reviews on recent evidence in relation to lipoproteins and lipids and their effects on cardiovascular disease/damage. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
Myocardial fibrosis/remodeling
Atherothrombotic disease 
Coronary atherosclerosis/coronary artery disease 
Cardiomyopathies
Arrhythmias
Cardiovascular Imagining
Genetics
Mechanisms
Biomarkers
