About this Research Topic
Given that cardiovascular diseases represent one of the major causes of death worldwide, great efforts are being made in prevention and treatment strategies. Cardiovascular diseases have multifactorial etiology, with variety of risk factors, resulting in the various possibilities of their modulation. Changes in dietary habits and nutritional interventions are attracting more and more attention from the scientific public as one of the primary strategies in the fight to reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. It is well-known fact that some dietary components (i.e. flavonoids or polyunsaturated fatty acids) or dietary patterns (i.e. Mediterranean diet) have beneficial effects on cardiovascular system. There is growing number of dietary ingredients that can affect the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases that require experimental and clinical confirmation. Furthermore, cardiovascular diseases often occur as complication of other diseases (i.e. diabetes) which expands the possibility of the influence of different diets and the use of dietary supplements.
The Research Topic aim to present experimental and clinical results regarding the effects of known and novel dietary supplements and dietary regimes on reduction of risk of cardiovascular diseases. Effects of known dietary interventions need to be deeply analyzed and dissect to shed light upon the mediating molecular mechanisms and cellular changes. Furthermore, dietary ingredients and patterns which could be recognized as novel protective strategies in combat with cardiovascular diseases require detailed analysis with the application of appropriate translational models of the disease as well as clinical confirmation on target groups of patients.
Authors are welcome to submit original scientific papers and review articles that contain novel data regarding the possibility of nutritional interventions and clarifications of underline molecular mechanism in cardiovascular diseases.
The topics we would like authors to focus on are the following:
• Effects of novel dietary supplements and dietary regimes on reduction of cardiovascular disease risk factors;
• Translational models of cardiovascular diseases and the possibilities of applying nutritional interventions;
• Oxidative stress as nutritional intervention target in cardiovascular diseases;
• Effects of nutritional interventions on modulation of inflammatory processes in cardiovascular diseases;
• Signaling pathways affected by nutritional intervention in cardiovascular diseases;
• Effects of nutritional interventions on atherogenesis and atherosclerosis;
• The impact of nutritional interventions on cardiovascular diseases in ageing;
• The ability of nutritional interventions on reduction of cardiovascular disease occurrence in metabolic disorders.
