Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decades, under the advancement of healthcare and the trend of the aging population, cardiovascular diseases have become an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Under the influence of different clinical, social and environmental factors, the prognosis of patients with the same disease can have significant variations. With an increasing number of patients suffering from multiple comorbidities, the interplay of diseases further complicates the prediction of disease outcomes. Therefore, there is a call for a more personalized management approach in the field of cardiovascular medicine, which requires the triage of patients by their risk profiles. Consequently, significant efforts have been exerted by the scientific community to advance research in the development of risk models and scores for the prognostication of cardiovascular diseases.
To improve the prognostic accuracy of the risk stratification models, multiparametric models with the inclusion of clinical, biochemical and imaging findings have been developed. New disease monitoring parameters derived from conventional biomarkers, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms and more were explored for their predictive value in disease progression. Existing diagnostic models were also examined for their risk stratifying potential. Machine learning approaches have been employed to uncover the non-linear relationships between variables, and account for the inter-predictor interactions to advance the predictive accuracy of models.
This special issue aims to collect high-quality original articles and comprehensive reviews on the advancements in risk stratification in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
1)Novel risk models on any cardiovascular diseases
2)Current trends in the risk stratification of any cardiovascular diseases
3)The use of machine-learning in the prognostication of cardiovascular diseases
