Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Metabolic risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity are the major risk factors for CVD. Over the last century, the drastic changes in human lifestyle and eating habits led to an increased incidence of these unfavorable risk factors. With the
increasing awareness for self-care in patients, the use of plant-based supplements, rich in bioactive compounds is growing in popularity all over the world. However, the benefits of plant-based supplementation on
cardiovascular and metabolic health still need more clinical evidence and a definite mechanism of action. This research topic aims to solicit original research, reviews and meta-analysis manuscripts that focus on various plant-based supplements with significant beneficial effects on cardiovascular and metabolic health in both preclinical and clinical phases. These include but not limited to:
- The effects of plant-based supplements on blood pressure, arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia.
The information in this Research Topic will provide a theoretical basis for developing plant-based supplements to improve cardiovascular and
metabolic health.
