Abstract
Although the impressive progression of modern diagnostic opportunities and therapeutic options, cardiovascular diseases still represent the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, worldwide. Beyond the effective pharmacological treatment of major cardiovascular disease or sequelae, however, cardiovascular diseases developing in adult individuals are largely preventable. The substantial failure to prevent cardiovascular disease in the 20th century generation is mostly linked to the ineffective use, as well as to the underuse of available preventive strategies. As a consequence, preventive strategies should be encouraged at both individual and population level, to substantially improve healthy status of the general population and reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases in Western and Developing Countries.

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cardiovascular disease still remains the leading cause of death in Chronic and End Stage Kidney Disease, accounting for more than half of all deaths in dialysis patients. During the past decade, research has been focused on novel therapeutic agents that might delay or even reverse cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification, ...read more
