Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease is a global health problem; it is the leading cause of death worldwide. Its complex etiology includes many risk factors, but the profound influence of diet and nutrition is undeniable. This Special Issue focuses on cardiovascular disease in relation to diet and nutrition, acting as a comprehensive and critical link in studying how dietary choices affect the development, progression, and management of CVD.
This Special Issue will focus on the specific role of different dietary components, from macronutrients, such as fat, carbohydrate, and protein, to micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. The Special Issue also investigates how these elements interact to influence key cardiovascular processes, including blood pressure regulation, cholesterol metabolism, inflammation, and endothelial function, as well as the impact of different diets on the cardiovascular system. Publications that address emerging research areas such as the impact of the gut microbiome on cardiovascular health and the potential for personalized nutritional strategies are highly encouraged.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide healthcare professionals, researchers, and the public with the knowledge they need to make informed dietary choices that promote cardiovascular health and reduce the burden of these diseases. I invite you to actively participate in the preparation of this publication and to present your scientific results to the public.
Prof. Dr. Aivars Lejnieks
