Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimal and comprehensive cardiovascular risk management calls for a continuous appraisal of the aetiological, pathophysiological and clinical interplay between manifestations of vascular injury and expression of various risk biomarkers, such as inflammation, lipid and glucose metabolism, and haemostatic abnormalities.
Vascular functional and morphologic anomalies play a central role in the pathophysiology of the vast majority of cardiovascular diseases. Exploring the association of conventional and novel risk factors with vascular injury provides a promising field of research, and may, in turn, direct future risk reduction strategies—including optimal lifestyle interventions and emerging preventive medications.
This Special Issue therefore proposes to summarize the burgeoning field of research into vascular injury and cardiovascular risk biomarkers, from preclinical rationales to epidemiological data, as well as possible interventions to prevent and/or revert vascular dysfunction and reduce cardiovascular risk.
