Special Issue Information

Cardiovascular dynamics represent the governing principles of the cardiovascular system, i.e., the heart and the extensive branched system of vessels containing blood, whose primary function is the transport of oxygen, nutrients and other substances and heat throughout the body. The study of cardiovascular dynamics is a classical area of modern medicine; however, their physical and mechanical aspects are not fully understood, and their application in clinical practice is suboptimal.

Signa Vitae is pleased to introduce a special issue dedicated to optimization of cardiovascular dynamics in Critical Care Medicine and Anesthesiology. We invite physicians-scientists, clinicians, and researchers to submit their clinical, basic, experimental, or translational work, i.e., original research studies, narrative reviews, and/or systematic reviews and meta-analyses, in all aspects of cardiovascular dynamics including, but not limited to, hemodynamic monitoring; volume conditions of the cardiovascular system; venous return; heart-lung interactions; cardiac output; ventriculo-arterial coupling; hemodynamic coherence and microcirculation; adequacy of organ perfusion; oxygen transport to tissue; shock; advanced hemodynamic support; organ protection; assessment of responsiveness to fluids, vasoactive drugs/inotropes/vasodilators, and blood/blood components; and individualized, physiology-guided management.

The nature of critical illness or major surgery and the significant costs required to treat these patients challenge both health care providers and health systems. It is our hope that this content helps critical care physicians and anesthesiologists navigate the complexities of cardiovascular dynamics as we strive to improve outcomes for our patient populations.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online by submit system. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be 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. Original articles, case reports or comprehensive reviews 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 double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Signa Viate is an international peer-reviewed open access journal published by MRE Press. As of January 2021, Signa Vitae will change to a bimonthly journal. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is $1200. We normally offer a discount greater than 30% to all contributors invited by the Editor-in-Chief, Guest Editor (GE) and Editorial board member. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.

Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch) Created as SCI in 1964, Science Citation Index Expanded now indexes over 9,200 of the world’s most impactful journals across 178 scientific disciplines. More than 53 million records and 1.18 billion cited references date back from 1900 to present.

Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition aims to evaluate a journal’s value from multiple perspectives including the journal impact factor, descriptive data about a journal’s open access content as well as contributing authors, and provide readers a transparent and publisher-neutral data & statistics information about the journal.

Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index The CAS Source Index (CASSI) Search Tool is an online resource that can quickly identify or confirm journal titles and abbreviations for publications indexed by CAS since 1907, including serial and non-serial scientific and technical publications.

Index Copernicus The Index Copernicus International (ICI) Journals database’s is an international indexation database of scientific journals. It covered international scientific journals which divided into general information, contents of individual issues, detailed bibliography (references) sections for every publication, as well as full texts of publications in the form of attached files (optional). For now, there are more than 58,000 scientific journals registered at ICI.
