Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death and disability in humans and their incidence is still increasing globally, despite the improvement in care and the prevention programs proposed worldwide by several international health agencies. Their pathogenesis is predominantly associated to atherosclerotic damage determining coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, venous thromboembolism and peripheral vascular disease. Modifiable risk factors leading to the onset of CVDs are well recognized and include hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity and environmental factors. Acting on these factors can significantly reduce the global epidemic of CVDs, as demonstrated by large international studies. Lifestyle modifications, associated to the management of lipid, glycemic and blood pressure values, have demonstrated their effectiveness in primary and secondary prevention of CVDs. Moreover, advance in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures associated to CVDs have permitted a more specific and personalized approach able to reduce the risk of mortality and morbidity. Definitely, a gap still exists between preventive and therapeutic evidence and their practical application in a large-scale population. This Special Issue gives an overview of the most recent advances in the field of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CVDs Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Heart Disease
- Cardiovascular Health
- Public Health
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Sudden Cardiac Death
- Cardiovascular Risk Factors
- Physical Activity
- Prevention programs
- Cardiovascular Anatomy
- Cardiovascular Physiology
