Non-classical Risk Factors Courses

Aim

Our aim is to raise awareness and increase understanding of non-classical risk factors for cardiovascular disease among the scientific and research community, clinicians, and healthcare practitioners. While traditional risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes are well-recognized, emerging evidence highlights the role of non-classical factors – such as chronic inflammation, metabolic disturbances, gut microbiota, psychosocial stress, and environmental influences – in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease.
