Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on cardiovascular disease in the elderly: cardiogeriatric assessment, prevention, treatment, outcomes, and perspectives.
The issue aims to integrate the latest insights from epidemiological data, frailty scores, preinterventional assessment, clinical characteristics of cardiovascular disease in the elderly, treatment plans, and outcomes, as well as perspectives concerning public health and the role of the digital era in addressing diagnosis and therapeutic planning.
Topics covered will include the following:
- Cardiogeriatric assessment regarding frailty, fall risk scores, sarcopenia, and obesity in the elderly at the clinical level. Preinterventional assessment before cardiac surgery or other cardiovascular intervention and outcomes.
- Epidemiological data on cardiovascular disease trends in the elderly population at the national or global level. Perspectives concerning public health.
- Primary and secondary prevention strategies. Clinical characteristics of cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Therapeutic goals, postinterventional cardiogeriatric rehabilitation, cardiovascular rehabilitation planning, and outcomes.
- The role of digital medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of the elderly and its impact on quality of life.
- Submissions are expected to include original research articles and review papers that advance our understanding of the role of cardiovascular disease in the elderly.
Contributions that highlight new insights on cardiovascular disease in the elderly and present therapeutic strategies for promoting healthy aging are especially welcome.
