Abstract

This dissertation by Sigrid Nilsson examines the impact of vasomotor symptoms (VMS) experienced during menopause, exploring their association with cardiovascular risk and the potential mitigating effects of physical activity. The research involves multiple studies focusing on Swedish women aged 50-64, assessing VMS severity and its linkage to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) using various imaging techniques. The findings suggest that severe VMS may indicate heightened cardiovascular risk, particularly when persistent for over five years or starting before menopause. The dissertation also investigates the efficacy of a resistance training intervention (RTI) in reducing VMS frequency and visceral adipose tissue and evaluates whether these effects are sustainable over time. The research aims to enhance understanding of VMS as a risk factor, with implications for clinical management of midlife women. The intended audience includes healthcare professionals and researchers in women's health and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract

This is an open access book. The objectives of the conference are as follows. to update knowledge about the relevant program priorities for addressing CVD burden in developing countries to explore options for the comprehensive management of primary cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood glucose level, smoking, and sedentary lifestyle to discuss the latest guidance and evidence on the early detection and management of CVD and its implementation in the context of developing countries, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of CVD to strengthen interprofessional collaboration in addressing challenges using multidisciplinary approaches for the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with CVD to update knowledge about health technology science and innovation related to the management and rehabilitation of patients with CVD.

Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and associated conditions. It is organized into three sections on "Cardiovascular Pathophysiology", "Cardiovascular Diagnostics", and "Cardiovascular Treatments". Chapters address such topics as the role of obesity in CVD, cardiotoxicity, cardio-oncology, CVD in different disease states, modalities for detecting CVD, interventional strategies to prevent or treat CVD, and much more.

Abstract

The purpose of this issue is to present the impact in clinical practice as well as in medical research of novel molecules that have been introduced in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. The topic focuses on the improvements in disease outcomes as well as the numerous beneficial effects of use of certain medications such as GLP-1 agonists, dual GLP-1/ GIP agonists, and SGLT-2 inhibitors for diabetes mellitus treatment; PCSK9 inhibitors and small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules for dyslipidemia; and antiaggregants, oral anticoagulants, scubitril/valsartan, and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor agonists or dapagliflozin in cardiovascular diseases. We believe that the number of real-life studies and in vivo and in vitro research of the effects of these drugs is quite low at the moment, leading to a lack of understanding of the complex molecular effects and pleiotropic effects of these medications, as well as incomplete knowledge regarding the repurposing of these drugs in clinical practice. Thus, this Special Issue is incredibly topical and important, and we look forward to your submissions which will help to clarify the issues surrounding such drugs.

Abstract

A major task for health professionals and health systems is effectively preventing and treating cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This book offers an updated set of experimental and clinical information on the usefulness of nutraceutical products for the management of cardiometabolic diseases, which range from obesity and diabetes mellitus and their complications to hypercholesterolemia. The nutraceutical option may be used according the "beyond diet, before drug" strategy and is particularly relevant in the cardiometabolic field. The chapters of this book offer a deep insight into relevant issues in this nutraceutical field, such as experimental research for the preclinical identification of interesting compounds of natural origin, quality of nutraceutical products and their efficacy and safety, regulatory aspects, and the quality of evidence-based medicine.

Abstract

The goal of this Special Issue is to disseminate emerging techniques and innovative solutions that comprehensively address unmet needs in cardiovascular disease and can be rapidly translated into the clinical arena in order to significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and precision in treatment delivery, as well as to enhance therapy guidance and procedural success. The volume includes research contributions from cross-disciplinary scientists and professionals who work in the cardiovascular field at the interface of basic and translational research, clinical practice, medical (bio)physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. Several compelling contributions are focused on the development of advanced techniques in cardiovascular imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound, optics) to investigate structure-function interaction and identify pathology, image analysis (e.g. registration, segmentation, visualization), deep-learning/AI classification methods to better characterize tissue and physiological signals, novel preclinical experimental models and clinical approaches employed in electro-anatomical mapping and image-aided therapies (e.g., cardiac ablation, resynchronization), as well as innovative interventional procedures for vascular applications.
