New Radiological, Electrocardiographic and Biochemical Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. According to the latest statistics on the structure of deaths in the world, in 2016, cardiovascular diseases were the main cause of death (34.2% of all recorded deaths). Moreover, diseases of the cardiovascular system are characterized by a rapid increase in epidemiological importance, practically since the 1950s, which was partially stopped at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Radiology and imaging diagnostics, electrophysiology, and biochemistry are currently recognized diagnostic methods of cardiovascular diseases. They have experienced a further increase in clinical importance in recent years. It is already impossible to imagine modern medicine without the aforementioned diagnostic methods, and the perspective of the next few years will only strengthen this tendency.

We invite you to publish original article and review papers on the significance and predictive value of new radiological, electrocardiographic, and biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
