About this Research Topic
Vascular-related diseases, including those affecting the heart, brain, and peripheral vascular system, pose significant threats to human health. To mitigate these threats, a fundamental shift in the traditional diagnostic and treatment paradigms is essential. Emerging evidence suggests that non-traditional risk factors play a critical role in vascular health, yet there is no standardized framework for their evaluation and management. Consequently, it is crucial not only to consider conventional risk factors but also to recognize and integrate less understood or previously overlooked factors, such as those encompassed by the Beijing Vascular Health Stratification (BVHS).
This paper proposes guidelines for the assessment, evaluation, and management of non-traditional vascular health risk factors. These guidelines aim to provide physicians with a reference for decision-making and standardize the approaches to both non-traditional risk factors and their treatment modalities. By focusing on non-traditional risk factors, we can uncover novel insights and expand our understanding, thereby enhancing strategies for the prevention and management of vascular diseases and promoting lifelong vascular health.
We welcome submissions on the following topics, but are not limited to:
- The latest progress in clinical evaluation techniques for aortic dissection
- Potential biomarker for dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure caused by atrial fibrillation
- Risk factors and clinical indicators for aortic dissection
- Non-traditional risk factors of cardiovascular diseases
- Approaches to improve the prognosis of heart failure and rapid atrial fibrillation
- Treatment of patients with unstable angina pectoris
