Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to emphasize the critical role of optimal diets in preventing coronary heart disease (CHD), which is a major global health concern. Cardiovascular diseases, including CHD, ischemic heart diseases, and hypertension, remain leading causes of mortality, especially in high-income countries. These conditions are closely linked to risk factors like hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, which can often be exacerbated by unhealthy lifestyles and poor diets.
CHD can manifest in various ways, including angina, heart attacks, heart failure, and arrhythmias, some of which can be life-threatening. Prevention and treatment typically involve lifestyle changes (healthy diet, exercise, smoking cessation), medications, and sometimes even medical procedures to address blocked arteries. Early detection and risk factor management are crucial for reducing CHD risk.
Our Special Issue aims to spotlight the significance of dietary interventions in CHD prevention. Researchers are invited to contribute their findings, whether related to dietary patterns, nutrients, or lifestyle modifications, in order to assist in advancing cardiovascular health. Join us in understanding how optimal diets can be a potent tool against coronary heart disease. Submit your manuscript to shape the future of global heart health and save lives.
