Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a global public health challenge, resulting in significant mortality and morbidity. According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and one person dies every 34 seconds as a result of heart disease. About 697,000 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2020, and projections show that the total cost for cardiovascular diseases in the U.S. by 2035 will reach around USD 1.1 trillion. The rapid progress in medical science and technology has led to a plethora of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for cardiovascular diseases. However, successfully translating these advances into clinical practice remains a challenge.

This Special Issue, “Clinical and Translational Pathways for Cardiovascular Research”, aims to address this challenge by exploring the latest advances and future directions in the field of cardiovascular research. The articles in this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest trends and best practices in the field of cardiovascular research, covering topics ranging from diagnosis to risk stratification and therapeutic interventions.

The articles in this Special Issue will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and scientists interested in understanding the clinical and translational pathways that are shaping the future of cardiovascular research. This Special Issue will provide a unique opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the cardiovascular community to share their knowledge and insights, and to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the field.

We hope that this Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for the cardiovascular community and help advance our understanding of the complex interplay between clinical practice and cardiovascular research.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measurement of the fluctuation of time between each heartbeat and reflects the function of the autonomic nervous system. HRV is an important indicator for both physical and mental status and for broad-scope diseases. In this review, we [...] Read more.
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measurement of the fluctuation of time between each heartbeat and reflects the function of the autonomic nervous system. HRV is an important indicator for both physical and mental status and for broad-scope diseases. In this review, we discuss how wearable devices can be used to monitor HRV, and we compare the HRV monitoring function among different devices. In addition, we have reviewed the recent progress in HRV tracking with wearable devices and its value in health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Although many challenges remain, we believe HRV tracking with wearable devices is a promising tool that can be used to improve personal health. Full article
