Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, emphasizing the need for innovative strategies to enhance recovery and long-term health outcomes. This Special Issue focuses on the role of nutritional resilience and sustainable dietary practices in optimizing cardiovascular rehabilitation. We invite original research articles, reviews, systematic reviews, and clinical studies exploring how nutrient-rich diets—such as the Mediterranean diet, plant-based approaches, and other whole-food dietary patterns—can improve cardiometabolic markers, support rehabilitation, and enhance long-term adherence.
Topics of interest include personalized nutrition interventions, the impact of dietary quality on inflammation and oxidative stress, behavioral strategies to improve dietary adherence, and the intersection of food sustainability with cardiovascular health. We also encourage studies that explore the environmental and socioeconomic aspects of sustainable food systems in relation to cardiovascular health.
This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative approaches that align heart health with environmental sustainability, offering practical insights for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers dedicated to advancing cardiovascular nutrition.
