ARTERY Research Special Issue

 

Call for Papers

About the collection

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in numerous countries worldwide. Vascular biomarkers of arterial stiffening evaluated with different devices are increasingly recognized as independent predictors of CV mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the most accepted non-invasive arterial stiffness parameter and in Europe among hypertensive patients it is a recommended method for the evaluation of hypertension-mediated organ damage. Besides non-invasive measurements, different formulas are also available for PWV estimation. Other vascular biomarkers, like central systolic blood pressure, central pulse pressure or augmentation index are also promising biomarkers and in the future might be part of therapy guidance.

The purpose of this special issue is to publish high-quality research papers as well as review articles addressing recent advances in the measurement and clinical application of arterial stiffness and central hemodynamic parameters. Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals are sought.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • clinical implication of new technologies or models for arterial stiffness and central blood pressure measurement
  • validation studies of new devices
  • follow-up data to obtain the predictive value of different vascular biomarkers
  • interventional tools to decrease arterial stiffening and central blood pressure
  • 24-hour arterial stiffness and central blood pressure monitoring data
  • new results with estimated pulse wave velocity and possible clinical applications.

Submission deadline: 15 September 2024
