Nutritional Status and Cardiovascular Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality not only within the European Union but worldwide. Undoubtedly, there is a strong relationship between nutritional status and CVDs. Nutritional status is one of the modifiable factors that have an impact on prognosis in patients with CVDs. Nutritional status in CVD patients is undoubtedly related to their quality of life, risk of re-hospitalization, prolonged hospitalization, complications, and increased risk of death during in-patient treatment. Consequently, diseases related to, e.g., obesity and malnutrition significantly increase medical costs, and their importance in the course of disease remains underappreciated.

Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, novel methods of nutritional assessment, malnutrition, overweight and obesity, personalized nutrition, dietary requirements and dietary patterns, length of hospitalization, and in-hospital and long-term mortality.
