Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the XXI century, the epidemic of improper nutrition has spread dramatically. High-fat and high-sugar diets, as well as diets low in plant products and diets deficient in minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients, have been commonly used in western countries and beyond. These unbalanced ways of nutrition have resulted in various negative health consequences and cardiovascular disorders, from obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and gout to ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Therefore, an improper diet can significantly increase patients’ cardiovascular risk. Due to tremendous increases in the quantity of patients suffering from heart and vascular diseases, cardiovascular risk should be estimated in the most reliable possible manner. Various risk indicators are commonly used, including age, blood pressure, heart rate, glucose and lipids blood levels, body mass index, and many others. However, there is a strong need to improve the accuracy of risk evaluation. Thus, new cardiovascular risk indicators appear systematically. In our special issue, we encourage authors to submit their original studies, reviews, case reports, and clinical images that demonstrate the usefulness of novel cardiovascular risk markers in clinical practice. We deeply believe that a range of parameters proposed by the authors will soon be widely used in everyday patient care.
