Foreword
Obesity has been implicated as one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and its prevalence has increased during the last decades not only in the United States but worldwide. In the issue of the Journal, Parto P and Lavie CJL report the adverse effects of obesity on cardiac structure, hemodynamics, and cellular abnormalities. In addition, the authors describe the association between obesity and risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and depression.

Assessing the Value of Moving More —The Integral Role of Qualified Health Professionals
Being physically active or, in a broader sense, simply moving more throughout each day is one of the most important components of an individual ’s health plan. In conjunction with regular exercise training, taking more steps in a day and sitting less are also important components of one’s movement portfolio. Given this priority, health care professionals must develop enhanced skills for prescribing and guiding individualized movement pr ograms for all their patients. An important component of a health care professional’s ability to prescribe movement as medicine is competency in assessing an individual’s risk for u...

Foreword
Coronary angiography has been the gold standard procedure for determining the diagnosis of coronary artery disease for many years. However, noninvasive imaging techniques have become more utilized today in cardiovascular medicine, not only for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, but also as a tool for selecting the appropriate therapies and for establishing prognosis.

Current Evidence-Based Understanding of the Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common atrial arrhythmia in adults worldwide. As medical advancements continue to contribute to an ever-increasing aging population, the burden of atrial fibrillation on the modern health care system continues to increase. Therapies are also evolving, for treatment of the arrhythmia itself, and stroke risk mitigation. Internists and cardiologists alike are, in most instances, the frontline contact for AF patients, and would benefit from remaining facile in their understanding of care options.

Let Us Talk About Moving: Reframing the Exercise and Physical Activity Discussion
Noncommunicable and chronic disease are interchangeable terms. According to the World Health Organization, “they are of long duration and generally slow progression. The 4 main types of chronic diseases are cardiovascular diseases (ie, heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma), and diabetes.” We have known about the ben efits of physical activity (PA) for thousands of years. Perhaps our approach, from public health messaging to the individual clinical encounter, as to how PA and exercise are discussed and prescribed can be improved upon, ...
