Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease is a penetrating exploration of the most consequential links between metabolic health and cardiovascular diseases. It explores the role of cellular and molecular mechanisms in metabolic dysregulation. Metabolic pathologies are often catalysts for cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Of critical import is how healthy cardiometabolic dynamics help maintain cardiovascular wellness. Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease emphasizes how metabolic imbalances (including lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, protein homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction and gut microbiota) contribute to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiometabolic Dynamics: A Deep Dive into Health and Disease examines the impact of lifestyle changes on cardiovascular metabolism and health. It highlights the importance of diet, nutrition, and exercise in influencing cardiovascular metabolism, and their role in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Emerging technologies in metabolic and cardiovascular research also feature prominently; the book delves into topics such as the use of omics technologies, genetic engineering, computational modeling, and wearable devices. The described technologies enhance understanding of metabolic disease mechanisms, and will revolutionize diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular conditions.
