Preface

I take the opportunity to present the first edition of the book on Recent Trends in Cardiovas‐ cular Risks with the support of InTech publishers. I thank the publisher for giving me the opportunity to work with them as an editor for this book. This book enthralls on the recent trends of cardiovascular risks, which would be fruitful to readers, researchers, and clinicians in health sciences.

The authors of this book are leading researchers in the field. Most of the cardiovascular risks are widely known, but due to changing trends based on lifestyle and geographical variance, from developing to developed countries, the risks vary. We have tried to compile the risks as a whole so that the readers can benefit from going through the chapters of the book.

I have arranged the chapters based on the priority index, and I hope that this book will have a large audience and will be appreciated by readers. I shall look forward for valuable com‐ ments and fruitful suggestions from all readers of medical and health science fraternity, in‐ cluding researchers, for further improvement of the book.

Lastly, I am indebted to InTech publishers for giving me the opportunity to edit this book and all authors whose impeccable contributions where brought out in this new edition of book.
