Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases are nowadays the leading cause of death in our global population. Eighteen million people die each year due to civilization diseases that are directly related to the cardiovascular system. The majority of patients die from heart attacks and strokes. Coronary heart disease, with its complications, is the domain of cardiologists. Other cardiovascular-related diseases are treated by a vast spectrum of specialists, starting from vascular surgeons, angiologists, neurologists, rheumatologists, dermatologists, and angio-rehabilitation specialists, ending with qualified nursing staff. This Special Issue of “Vascular Surgery and Angiology” will be reserved specifically to these experts in the field. The main topics of interest include the following:

  • Genetics in angiology;
  • Angiogenesis;
  • Atherosclerosis;
  • Carotid artery disease;
  • Lower extremity arterial disease;
  • Abdominal, thoracic, and peripheral aneurysms;
  • Chronic venous disease;
  • Venous thrombo-embolic disease;
  • Vascular malformations;
  • Vascular access for hemodialysis;
  • Lymphology;
  • Connective tissue diseases with vascular manifestations;
  • Angio-rehabilitation and quality of life;
  • Nursing care in vascular patients.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background: Acute peripheral arterial ischemia is a rapidly developing loss of perfusion, resulting in ischemic clinical manifestations. This study aimed to assess the incidence of cardiovascular mortality in patients with acute peripheral arterial ischemia and either atrial fibrillation (AF) or sinus rhythm (SR). Methods: This observational study involved patients with acute peripheral ischemia treated surgically. Patients were followed-up to assess cardiovascular mortality and its predictors. Results: The study group included 200 patients with acute peripheral arterial ischemia and either AF (n = 67) or SR (n = 133). No cardiovascular mortality differences between the AF and SR groups were observed. AF patients who died of cardiovascular causes had a higher prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (58.3% vs. 31.6%, p = 0.048) and hypercholesterolemia (31.2% vs. 5.3%, p = 0.028) than those who did not die of such causes. Patients with SR who died of cardiovascular causes more frequently had a GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (47.8% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.03) and were older than those with SR who did not die of such causes. The multivariable analysis shows that hyperlipidemia reduced the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with AF, whereas in patients with SR, an age of ≥75 years was the predisposing factor for such mortality. Conclusions: Cardiovascular mortality of patients with acute ischemia did not differ between patients with AF and SR. Hyperlipidemia reduced the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with AF, whereas in patients with SR, an age of ≥75 years was a predisposing factor for such mortality. Full article
