Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several studies have indicated that both increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol contribute to a significant reduction in cardiovascular events. Although the efficacy and success of modern cholesterol-lowering medications have largely shown a significant reduction in cardiovascular diseases, dietary intervention remains the frontline strategy in preventing the initiation and the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. The beneficial effect of diet is not limited to the regulation of LDL and HDL levels, but also involves the modulation of several factors implicated in the development of the atherosclerosis process and associated clinical complications.
This Special Issue of Nutrients will bring together broad aspects relating to “Nutrition, Lipiproteins and Cardiovascular Diseases”.
Of particular interest will be articles that provide mechanistic evidence linking diet and nutrition with clinical cardiovascular outcomes and cardiovascular risk factors, articles that have applied a life course approach, and articles that explore the role of the modern diet environment (including food processing, dietary patterns and novel foods) with regard to lipids and cardiovascular diseases.
