Call for Papers: Impact of Metal Exposures on Cardiovascular including Cardiometabolic Diseases: Pre-clinical models, Mechanistic Insights, Clinical Applications

Through this Special Issue, we aspire to bring together bring epidemiologists, clinicians, translational, and molecular toxicologists together to explore the role of occupational and environmental exposure to heavy metals through direct toxicity and indirect effects by disturbing homeostatic mechanisms regulating essential metals, as well systemic parameters including lipid levels and blood pressure, etc... We seek data linking multiple different metals to cardiovascular diseases/metabolic disease to define differences and commonalities between outcomes associated with metal exposures.
