Cardiovascular Disease in Special Populations: From Basic Science to Clinical Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Research on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has experienced significant growth in recent years, increasing our understanding and fueling the discovery of prominent therapeutic options. Despite these advancements, there are still many unknowns regarding the manifestation and treatment of CVDs in special populations. Special populations can encompass a wide range of physical, sensory, cognitive, and metabolic factors, each influencing cardiovascular health differently. As such, there is a significantly greater health concern in special populations, as recent studies have found that factors specific to special populations contribute to heightened CVD risk factors and early mortality. In addition, it is unclear as to whether common CVD treatment options are effective in CVD patients from special populations. Therefore, the goal of this research topic is to provide a scientific platform that fosters our clinical understanding of the manifestation as well as the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in special populations with CVD. Both research and review articles are welcome.
