Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owing to the advanced development of modern technologies and big data analysis, there has been an explosion of evidence regarding the risk stratification of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This information may result in significant changes to clinical practice, community response systems, and the modification of healthy policies.
An updated review of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is important to prevent and reduce the burden of CVD. The first step is a reappraisal of the factors contributing to acute coronary syndrome, cerebrovascular accident, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias.
For this Special Issue, we welcome submissions that reassess the traditional risk factors or explore the new predictors of the specific CVD. The articles will focus on the application of clinical tools and cardiac imaging. We expect to provide the new mechanistic insights into the risk stratification of stroke, characterization of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, and the implications for the better control of congestive heart failure and risk reduction for acute myocardial infarction.
