Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Atherosclerosis Plus publishes research on atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases. The journal focuses on risk factors such as dyslipidemia, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction, including the roles of lipoprotein(a), C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index, and autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1. It also investigates cellular mechanisms, including vascular smooth muscle cell behavior, calcification, and the impact of extracellular vesicles and specific proteins like PCSK9 and G9A. Therapeutic interventions, including lipid-lowering drugs like bempedoic acid and statins, as well as diagnostic approaches and population-specific reference intervals, are also covered.
