Abstract
This article aims to review international literature on the current trends and challenges of cardiovascular epidemiology, including the emergence of new risk factors. The transformative impact of omics technologies on epidemiology, advantages and limitations of meta-epidemiology, as well as the role of mobile technologies and electronic medical records in maintaining and improving the cardiovascular health of the population are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the importance of continuity between the results acquired in the epidemiological studies and the programs aimed at the improvement of community health. The authors conclude that critical events make a significant impact on cardiovascular health. These events include changes in the lifestyle of people living in the industrial society, globalization, migration processes, and explosive development of new technologies and industries. Since these changes occur in parallel to the transformation of existing and emergence of new cardiovascular risk factors, then continuous research and control measures are required. Revolutionary changes in the field of biomedical technologies and advances in the epidemiological methodology translate into expanding the international terminology. New terms are continuously emerging at the junction of transforming areas of research. Therefore, along with the implementation of new biomedical technologies, the authors find it necessary to update and expand the vocabulary used in Russia in epidemiology and related disciplines.
Highlights
Cardiovascular epidemiology faces two main challenges: an unprecedented potential of the new research areas is emerging along with the growing uncertainty in regard to a significance of the research discipline itself and its growing commitment to the society [1]
In 2013, the President of the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER), Professor of Colombia University Sandro Galea, in his presidential address at the opening of SER meeting in Boston told the attendees that “we are seeing a gross failure in our improving the health of populations...”
The analysis identified the following factors affecting the quality of the prognostic models: study design; case-mix differences in the system of patient typology; continent where the model was validated; inclusion criteria; clinical conditions; number
Summary
Научно-исследовательский институт кардиологии, Томский национальный исследовательский медицинский центр Российской академии наук, 634012, Российская Федерация, Томск, ул. Аннотация Целью статьи является обзор зарубежной литературы относительно современных трендов и вызовов в области эпидемиологии сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний (ССЗ), включая появление новых факторов риска. Что изменение образа жизни людей в индустриальном обществе, глобализация, процессы миграции, бурное развитие технологий и промышленности сопровождаются трансформацией старых и появлением новых факторов риска ССЗ, требующих последовательного изучения и контроля. Революционные изменения в области биомедицинских технологий и эпидемиологических методов находят отражение в расширении международной терминологии. Что новые термины рождаются на стыке трансформирующих направлений науки, авторы считают необходимым обновление и расширение российской терминологии в области эпидемиологии и смежных дисциплин наряду с внедрением новых биомедицинских подходов. Ключевые слова: Конфликт интересов: Прозрачность финансовой деятельности: Для цитирования: сердечно-сосудистые заболевания, эпидемиология, омиксные технологии, новые подходы, факторы риска.
