Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diet has a fundamental impact on cardiovascular health. Many cardiovascular diseases are caused by an unhealthy diet, and therefore nutritional education should be the basis for the prevention of these diseases. According to Marc Lalonde, 53% of our health is caused by diet and lifestyle. Therefore, together with the Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, we have created the Special Issue "Diet and Cardiovascular Diseases—Current Views and Trends" in which we would like to publish a number of interesting review papers, original articles and meta-analyses on this very important issue. We invite you to contribute to this unique Special Issue by JCDD.

The management of atrial fibrillation has evolved significantly over the last ten years with advancements in medical and catheter ablation approaches, but these have limited success when used in isolation. Trends in the management of lifestyle modifications have surfaced, as it is now better understood that modifiable risk factors contribute significantly to the development and propagation of atrial fibrillation, as well as failure of treatment. International guidelines have integrated the role of lifestyle modification in the management of atrial fibrillation and specifically in the persistent form of atrial fibrillation; these guidelines must be addressed prior to considering catheter ablation. Effective risk factor modification is critical in increasing the likelihood of an arrhythmia-free survival following catheter ablation. Full article

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, and diet plays an instrumental role in CVD development. Plant-based diets have been strongly tied to a reduction in CVD incidence. In contrast, animal food consumption may increase CVD risk. While increased serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations are an established risk factor which may partially explain the positive association with animal foods and CVD, numerous other biochemical factors are also at play. Thus, the aim of this review is to summarize the major cellular and molecular effects of animal food consumption in relation to CVD development. Animal-food-centered diets may (1) increase cardiovascular toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, due to increased serum endotoxins and oxidized LDL cholesterol, (2) increase cardiovascular lipotoxicity, (3) increase renin-angiotensin system components and subsequent angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) signaling and (4) increase serum trimethylamine-N-oxide concentrations. These nutritionally mediated factors independently increase cardiovascular oxidative stress and inflammation and are all independently tied to CVD development. Public policy efforts should continue to advocate for the consumption of a mostly plant-based diet, with the minimization of animal-based foods. Full article

The vegan diet, often known as a plant-rich diet, consists primarily of plant-based meals. This dietary approach may be beneficial to one’s health and the environment and is valuable to the immune system. Plants provide vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants, components that promote cell survival and immune function, allowing its defensive mechanisms to work effectively. The term “vegan diet” comprises a range of eating patterns that prioritize nutrient-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. In comparison to omnivorous diets, which are often lower in such products, the vegan diet has been favorably connected with changes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers such as reduced body mass index (BMI) values, total serum cholesterol, serum glucose, inflammation, and blood pressure. Reduced intake of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), saturated fat, processed meat, and greater consumption of fiber and phytonutrients may improve cardiovascular health. However, vegans have much smaller amounts of nutrients such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), selenium, zinc, iodine, and vitamin B12, compared to non-vegans, which may lead to detrimental cardiovascular effects. This review aims to present the effect of plant-based diets (PBDs), specifically vegan diets, on the cardiovascular system. Full article

Excessive consumption of alcohol is not only a social problem, but it also significantly increases the morbidity and mortality rates of many societies. A correlation has been demonstrated between alcohol consumption and increased mortality from cancer, accidents and injuries, liver cirrhosis and other causes. Alcohol abuse increases the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke and the risk of ischemic stroke, induces serious arrhythmias, adversely affects blood pressure and damages the heart muscle. The dose and way of drinking alcohol play a crucial role in assessing whether this drink allows people to maintain health or whether it is a great health and social threat. The beneficial effects of low and moderate doses of alcohol on the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases have been shown in many population studies and meta-analyses in which the effect of U-shaped or J-shaped curves relating alcohol intake to cardiovascular mortality was observed, especially in ischemic heart disease. However, due to the fact that alcohol consumption is associated with many health hazards, it is not recommended to consume it as a preventive action of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, recent studies suggest that association of low-to-moderate alcohol consumption with the reduction in cardiovascular risk is a result of lifestyle changes and that any reduction in alcohol consumption is in fact beneficial in terms of general health.

Background: Our aim was to determine the impact that metabolic syndrome (MS) produces in long-term heart rate variability (HRV), quantitatively synthesizing the results of published studies to characterize the cardiac autonomic dysfunction in MS. Methods: We searched electronic databases for original research works with long-term HRV recordings (24 h) that compared people with MS (MS+) versus healthy people as a control group (MS−). This systematic review and meta-analysis (MA) was performed according to PRISMA guidelines and registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022358975). Results: A total of 13 articles were included in the qualitative synthesis, and 7 of them met the required criteria to be included in the MA. SDNN (−0.33 [−0.57, 0.09], p = 0.008), LF (−0.32 [−0.41, −0.23], p < 0.00001), VLF (−0.21 [−0.31, −0.10], p = 0.0001) and TP (−0.20 [−0.33, −0.07], p = 0.002) decreased in patients with MS. The rMSSD (p = 0.41), HF (p = 0.06) and LF/HF ratio (p = 0.64) were not modified. Conclusions: In long-term recordings (24 h), SDNN, LF, VLF and TP were consistently decreased in patients with MS. Other parameters that could be included in the quantitative analysis were not modified in MS+ patients (rMSSD, HF, ratio LF/HF). Regarding non-linear analyses, the results are not conclusive due to the low number of datasets found, which prevented us from conducting an MA. Full article
