Abstract

The series of reactive biological events that we identify as inflammation has been investigated in recent years and unveiled as an important mechanism for regeneration. The study of the underlying complexity has been boosted by new technological innovation in research and allowed the identification of inflammatory responses as the basis of diseases that were considered degenerative rather than regenerative in nature. This is the case for cardiovascular diseases, from the organ damage that follows an acute event to the damage of target organs exposed to chronic risk factors. This editorial explores innovative aspects of inflammation in the setup of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases.
