Introduction
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with dyslipidemia being a major risk factor. Lipidomics, the comprehensive analysis of lipid molecules in biological systems, has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding the role of lipids in the development and progression of CVD. By characterizing the lipid profile in individuals with CVD, lipidomics can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of the disease, identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis, and inform personalized treatment strategies.

Thesis Overview
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major public health concern globally, with dyslipidemia playing a central role in their pathogenesis. Lipidomics, the comprehensive analysis of lipid molecules in biological systems, has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of CVD by providing detailed insights into the complex interplay between lipids and cardiovascular health. This thesis aims to explore the role of lipidomics in CVD, with a focus on identifying lipid biomarkers, elucidating disease mechanisms, and informing personalized treatment strategies.
