Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the progress made in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, the number of hospital admissions, healthcare spending, and mortality from cardiovascular causes still rank first in developed and developing countries. However, it must be admitted that cardiovascular diseases are a branch of medicine in which the greatest progress is made every year. Maybe we missed something? One of the topics on which a lot of work has been carried out is heart failure, which is the endpoint of the vast majority of cardiac pathologies. While the situation is sufficiently defined, also from a therapeutic point of view, for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), unfortunately this is not the case for HF with preserved EF (EFpEF), which has been seen to have a prevalence of approximately 50% of forms of HF. Albeit lacking, however, there has been considerable progress both in the knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms and in the therapeutic approach of this form of HF. In light of these developments, we have proposed this Special Issue entitled "Feature Reviews in Cardiovascular Diseases". It aims to collect the newest and most significant data on cardiovascular research, both in the field of cardiovascular prevention and mechanisms and on therapeutic innovations such as inhibitors of SGLT2 receptors and GLP1 receptor agonists, which have given positive results on adverse cardiovascular outcomes, even regardless of the presence of diabetes.
