Nutrition, Lipids and Cardiovascular Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Circulating lipids, such as LDL-cholesterol, are a key modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Dietary intervention has strong historic links with lipid lowering, and remains the frontline strategy, but the efficacy and success of modern cholesterol-lowering medications have largely over-shadowed the role of diet and nutrition.

This Special Issue of Nutrients will bring together broad aspects relating to Nutrition, Lipids and Cardiovascular Diseases.

Of particular interest will be articles that provide mechanistic evidence linking diet and nutrition with clinical cardiovascular outcomes and cardiovascular risk factors, articles that have applied a life course approach, and articles that explore the role of the modern diet environment (including food processing, dietary patterns and novel foods) with lipids and cardiovascular diseases.
