Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, the parallel rise of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease has been mirrored by a sharp increase in cardiovascular complications. A growing body of experimental and clinical data suggests that these conditions converge on shared inflammatory, metabolic, and profibrotic circuits capable of undermining myocardial integrity long before overt heart disease appears.
This Special Issue seeks to clarify those converging pathways and to translate emerging knowledge into earlier diagnosis and more precise therapy. We welcome manuscripts that probe underlying mechanisms, introduce or validate novel imaging and biomarker platforms, or test interventional strategies—pharmacological, procedural, or lifestyle-based—designed to lessen cardiometabolic risk. Original investigations, robust methodological papers, and critical, up-to-date reviews that draw on the combined expertise of cardiology, endocrinology, and hepatology will all be considered.
