Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 21st century, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading causes of premature mortality and morbidity worldwide. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art regarding classical and novel cardiovascular risk factors. The classical factors, which have been known from the time of the Framingham study and the INTERHEART and INTERSTROKE studies, account for >90% of the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Based on these results, current strategies for the prevention of coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular diseases focus mainly on reducing body weight, blood LDL cholesterol concentration, and blood pressure. However, our knowledge is still growing, and a significant amount of novel data has been gathered. Some classical solutions have been criticized; simultaneously, new concepts have arisen, including concerns about environmental and occupational factors, pollution, and the contamination of food with the preservatives and chemical substances that accompany everyday life. These issues and numerous others regarding mental health, different aspects of physical activity, and individual choices, including diet, may contribute to the complex background of the development of cardiovascular diseases.
Due to strong interest in current topic in the first edition of this Special Issue, we will continue to collect related research papers that consolidate our understanding in this area. Potential topics include the following research areas:
Cardiovascular classical risk factors;
Novel cardiovascular risk factors;
Environmental cardiovascular risk factors;
Occupational cardiovascular risk factors;
Prevention of cardiovascular risk factors;
Novel trends in cardiovascular risk factors.
We hope that you will contribute your work for publication in this Special Issue of JCDD.
