Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Hypertension is the leading modifiable factor associated with stroke, coronary events, and cardiovascular (CV) death. However, hypertensive patients represent a heterogeneous group with different CV risks due to different organ damage and comorbidities, and both therapeutic options as well as targets change depending on a patient's global CV risk. Therefore, stratifying CV risk as best as possible is essential for predicting prognoses and to personalize target therapies.
We are pleased to invite you to submit an article for this Special Issue, titled “Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Hypertension”, which will be published in Diseases (IF: 2.9). The main purpose of this Special Issue is to collect the most recent clinical and experimental evidence about new and traditional indices associated with CV risk in hypertensive patients, as well as about the scores used to estimate CV risk. In particular, considerable relevance will be given to the new genetic, molecular, clinical, and instrumental indices or markers that could improve the stratification of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive individuals.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
