Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of cardiology has considerably changed over the last few decades. Advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiac disease, along with newer, better, and more accessible diagnostic abilities and advances in therapeutic modalities, have remarkably changed the diagnostic process and prognosis of cardiac conditions.
Despite the clinical advances in the field, the epidemiology of cardiac risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, lipid disorders, and hypertension has changed, as well with a direct effect on the epidemiology of cardiac diseases. Furthermore, the discovery of previously unknown risk factors, such as coronary calcium score and chronic inflammation, has made the prediction of cardiac disease more specific, bringing cardiac epidemiology closer to the single patient level.
Advances in novel data gathering and analysis that have made novel techniques available, such as big data and machine learning, have allowed us to ascertain new links between previously unconnected entities that have further changed the way we see cardiac epidemiology at the personal and population levels.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent changes in the epidemiology of cardiac disease, and to estimate further trends to help epidemiologist clinicians and policymakers.
