Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, prompting an urgent need for innovative research and effective public health strategies to mitigate their impact. This Special Issue aims to feature interdisciplinary studies encompassing epidemiological investigations, novel risk factor identification, innovative predictive modeling techniques and evidence-based public health interventions targeting CVD and related cardiometabolic conditions. Contributions may include, but are not limited to, population-based studies elucidating CVD trends and patterns, investigations into the role of lifestyle factors and genetics in CVD risk, predictive modeling approaches for early detection and intervention, and assessments of the effectiveness of public health policies and interventions in reducing CVD burden. By synthesizing diverse perspectives and methodologies, this Special Issue aims to provide valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, policymakers and public health practitioners, striving to address the complex challenges posed by CVD and cardiometabolic diseases.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity. Traditional risk prediction models, while foundational, often fail to capture the multifaceted nature of risk factors or leverage the expanding pool of healthcare data. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches represent a paradigm shift in risk prediction, offering dynamic, scalable solutions that integrate diverse data types. This review examines advancements in AI/ML for CVD risk prediction, analyzing their strengths, limitations, and the challenges associated with their clinical integration. Recommendations for standardization, validation, and future research directions are provided to unlock the potential of these technologies in transforming precision cardiovascular medicine.
