Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this special issue on “Dietary Management of Dyslipidemia” we invite reviews of evidence-based strategies for dietary management of dyslipidemia in various populations at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Dyslipidemia is a major modifiable risk factor for CVD even in the presence of genetic susceptibility for metabolic diseases. The prevalence of dyslipidemia has increased steadily worlwide as people migrate from rural to urban communities with unhealthy lifestyles. The health burden associated with primary and secondary dyslipidemia has increased consistently not only in adults but also in pediatric populations.
Dietary changes and sedentary lifestyle seem to account for the shift from low risk to high risk for dyslipidemia and CVD. For this reason, treatment guidelines generally advocate lifestyle modification as adjunct to pharmacotherapy in secondary prevention of CVD or as the first-line therapy in most cases of dyslipidemia in primary prevention.
Several studies have been published in the past 5 to 10 years that examine the effect of diet on dyslipidemia in otherwise healthy subjects, or in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes or metabolic syndrome. The study outcomes focus not only on the impact of the diet on plasma levels of LDL cholesterol but also on triglycerides and HDL lipoproteins. This special issue invites updates on diet as adjunct to pharmacotherapy of dyslipidemia in secondary prevention or as first-line therapy in primary prevention.
