Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease explores the intricate relationship between metabolic health and cardiovascular diseases, illuminating how cellular and molecular mechanisms contribute to metabolic dysregulation. The book delves into the ways metabolic pathologies act as precursors to cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. With a focus on healthy cardiometabolic dynamics, it underscores the crucial role they play in sustaining cardiovascular wellness, offering a comprehensive perspective on the intersection of metabolism and heart health.
The book further examines the influence of lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise on cardiovascular metabolism and highlights emerging technologies like omics, genetic engineering, and wearable devices to advance research, diagnosis, and treatment.
