Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant advances in diagnostics and treatment, a critical gap remains in translating biomarker discoveries into integrative and preventive healthcare solutions. This Special Issue, “Integrative and Preventive Biomarkers for Cardiometabolic Diseases”, will highlight cutting-edge research on biomarkers that facilitate early detection, risk assessment, and personalized prevention strategies.
For this Special Issue, we are inviting submissions that explore novel and established biomarkers, their clinical utility, and their integration into multi-disciplinary healthcare approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomarkers for early risk prediction and disease progression monitoring;
- The role of inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysregulation in cardiometabolic health;
- Multi-omics approaches (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics) to biomarker discovery;
- AI-driven biomarker identification and precision medicine applications;
- Integration of biomarkers into pharmacological interventions;
- Challenges in translating biomarker research into clinical practice.
By bringing together diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will bridge the translational gap and foster interdisciplinary collaboration to develop a more proactive, biomarker-driven approach to cardiometabolic healthcare.
