Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerotic coronary disease, various forms of cardiomyopathy present with heart failure, stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), peripheral arterial disease, and metabolic, toxic and infective causes of heart diseases, are the leading cause of global mortality and reduced quality of life.
Although modern diagnostics and treatments are available and improving each year, there are still increasing numbers of deaths and lost years of life globally.
The main causes for this are underrecognized and underestimated diseases such as arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and diabetes mellitus. Lifestyle changes and patients' awareness of the disease are crucial for successful treatment.
