Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the considerable progress made over recent decades in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, they still remain the leading cause of hospitalizations and deaths in developed and developing countries. Hence, it is likely that we are missing something. We have therefore developed a Special Issue, entitled "Cardiovascular Diseases: From Pathophysiology to Novel Therapeutic Approaches, 2nd Edition", which addresses this problem in depth, collecting manuscripts that can contribute to the in-depth study of the topic and attempt to clarify what has been done and what can still be done to reduce the risks related to cardiovascular diseases, from both therapeutic and preventive point of views. For example, a condition that has considerable scientific literature to support it but is still rather neglected is insulin resistance with associated hyperinsulinemia. This condition, which in itself should already be considered an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, when elevated to a risk factor, is often treated only too late, namely when it transforms into type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is very likely that if we intervened earlier with screening and therapy, we could obtain a notable prognostic improvement.
