Author of the Article: Dayue Darrel Duan and Mehran Roxana, Professor

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of death globally, which are a group of
disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases & Diagnosis is an
Open Access scholarly, academic journal that is concerned with both basic and translational
research, across different disciplines and areas, enhancing insight in cardiovascular disease
mechanisms and the perspective for innovation.
Cardiovascular journal is a peer reviewed journal and journal quality is retained by mandatory
acceptance of paper by editor and reviewers for publication of an article. The journal
publishes most comprehensive, relevant and reliable information based on the current
research and development in the field of cardiology. The journal ensures barrier-free
distribution of of its content through online open access.

Title of the Journal: Stroke Risk Factors, Genetics, and Prevention
Author of the Article: Amelia K. Boehme, Charles Esenwa and Mitchell S.V. Elkind

Stroke is a heterogeneous syndrome, and determining risk factors and treatment depends on
the specific pathogenesis of stroke. Risk factors for stroke can be categorized as modifiable
and nonmodifiable. Age, sex, and race/ethnicity are nonmodifiable risk factors for both
ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, while hypertension, smoking, diet, and physical inactivity
are among some of the more commonly reported modifiable risk factors. More recently
described risk factors and triggers of stroke include inflammatory disorders, infection,
pollution, and cardiac atrial disorders independent of atrial fibrillation. Single-gene disorders
may cause rare, hereditary disorders for which stroke is a primary manifestation. Recent
research also suggests that common and rare genetic polymorphisms can influence risk of
more common causes of stroke, due to both other risk factors and specific stroke
mechanisms, such as atrial fibrillation. Genetic factors, particularly those with environmental
interactions, may be more modifiable than previously recognized. Stroke prevention has
generally focused on modifiable risk factors. Lifestyle and behavioral modification, such as
dietary changes or smoking cessation, not only reduces stroke risk, but also reduces the risk
of other cardiovascular diseases. Other prevention strategies include identifying and treating
medical conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, that increase stroke risk. Recent
research into risk factors and genetics of stroke has not only identified those at risk for stroke
but also identified ways to target at-risk populations for stroke prevention.

Title of the Journal: Addressing the legacy effect of Diabetes
Author of the Article: Laiteerapong, N., Ham, S. A., Gao, Y., Moffet, H. H., Liu, J. Y.,

Several large clinical trials have demonstrated the importance of tight glucose control for
reducing diabetes complications. However, few studies to date have tested this in the real-
world, outside of a controlled clinical setting. In a study published this year, Dr. Laiteerapong
found that indeed in a real-world setting, people with lower hemoglobin A1C levels after
diagnosis had significantly lower vascular complications later on, a phenomenon known as
the ‘legacy effect’ of glucose control. Her research noted the importance of early intervention
for the best outcomes, as those with the low A1C levels just one-year after diagnosis had
significantly lower vascular disease risk compared to people with higher A1C levels.

With these findings in hand, physicians and policymakers will have more material to debate
and determine the best course of action for improving outcomes in people newly diagnosed
with diabetes.

Title of the Journal: Clinical Respiratory Diseases & Care
Author of the Article: Battula Srinitha, Ajay Kumar Namdeo, Hareth D*

Respiratory diseases consists of two kinds of diseases causing agents like: Virus and Bacteria.
Virus like influenza, bacterial pneumonia and the enterovirus respiratory virus that has been
diagnosed in children; and diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) which are chronic are observed in children and in adults. These are common
respiratory diseases.

The human respiratory system not only provides oxygen to each cell of the body but also
removes body wastes, filters out infectious agents, and provides air needed for speech.
Although the lungs are able to with stand abuse in the form of smoke and other pollutants, a
number of disorders impair its function. Some of these maladies are temporary and relatively
harmless; others may be life-threatening.
