Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases are chronic, progressive, and largely preventable conditions that continue to drive premature mortality and disability worldwide. They arise from long-term, interacting influences that extend beyond traditional risk factors—hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity—to the wider biological, behavioural, environmental, and social contexts in which people live.
Preventive cardiology is increasingly informed by the exposome, understood as the sum of lifelong exposures and the internal responses that they provoke, which shape cardiovascular risk. It considers influences such as air quality, noise, temperature and climate stressors, food environments, diet and physical activity patterns, sleep and circadian disruption, psychosocial stress, occupational conditions, and socioeconomic determinants, which together affect pathways including inflammation, metabolism, vascular dysfunction, and accelerated cardiovascular ageing.
This Special Issue will present clinical and translational advances designed to strengthen disease prevention in real-world practice. We also welcome studies exploring clinical risk assessment and the early detection of cardiovascular vulnerability within preventive care. We also encourage submissions on innovative primary and secondary prevention strategies, including lifestyle and multi-component interventions, as well as implementation approaches to translate evidence into routine care. A particular focus will be placed on digital solutions and wearable technologies that support prevention, enabling more continuous, personalised, and scalable models of cardiovascular risk reduction.
We invite submissions that provide clinically grounded insights into preventive cardiology and its future directions. Our goal is to show that modern preventive cardiology works best when it integrates the rigorous management of established risk factors into a broader understanding of cumulative exposures across the lifespan, while leveraging emerging clinical and digital tools to improve prediction, tailoring, and long-term outcomes.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
