Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vascular diseases are prevalent conditions in adult and elderly populations with important consequences for public health. Several vascular diseases promote impairments in physical function, limit physical activity levels, and increase the risk of mortality. Quality of life is frequently reduced in patients with vascular diseases, indicating that their consequences extend beyond physiological parameters.
Nutrition, physical activity, and other non-pharmacological interventions have been associated with physical function, the control of risk factors, wellbeing, and quality of life in several populations. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the effects of these interventions in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and as a treatment of patients with different vascular diseases, such as peripheral arterial disease, aneurisms, lymphedema, etc.
This Special Issue will publish studies analyzing the role of non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions (e.g., physical activity, nutrition, heat) in the prevention of occurrence of vascular injury and in the treatment of patients with different types of vascular diseases. Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews to this Special Issue.
