Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide; the related risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, diet, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Oxidative stress and inflammation are intricately linked mechanisms and are significant drivers in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. Although reactive oxygen species are a natural by-product of metabolism, oxidative stress occurs when there is a build-up of reactive oxygen species that are unable to be scavenged by the available intracellular antioxidants. Oxidative stress leads to damaged DNA, protein, and lipids. Further research is required not only to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress and inflammation in cardiovascular disease but also to aid in the development of targeted interventions to combat both inflammation and oxidative stress. The importance of understanding cardiovascular diseases has been further highlighted this past year during the COVID-19 pandemic where cardiovascular diseases predict a greater chance of morbidity and mortality among COVID-19-infected individuals.
We are inviting you to submit research or review articles to the second volume of this Special Issue on “Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Cardiovascular Diseases”, which will be dedicated to providing further insight into recent developments in the field.
Dr. Raelene Pickering
Guest Editor
