Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Innovative approaches to increase the understanding of the underpinnings of CVD promise to enhance CVD risk assessment and might pave the way to tailored therapies. Within the last years, systems medicine has emerged as a novel tool to study the genetic, molecular and physiological interactions.
Conclusion: In this review, we provide an overview of the current molecular-experimental, epidemiological and bioinformatical tools applied in systems medicine in the cardiovascular field. We will discuss the status and challenges in implementing interdisciplinary systems medicine approaches in CVD.

Background: Chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may deteriorate into acute exacerbations requiring hospitalization. Assessing the predictors of prolonged hospital stays could help identify potential interventions to reduce the burden on patients and healthcare systems.
Aim: This study aimed to identify the risk factors attributed to prolonged hospital stays among patients admitted with acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory disorders in Jordan.

Metabolomics is the area of research, which strives to obtain complete metabolic fingerprints, to detect differences between them and to provide hypothesis to explain those differences (Schripsema J, Dagnino D, Handbook of chemical and biological plant analytical methods. Wiley, New York, 2015). However, obtaining complete metabolic fingerprints is not an easy task.

Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) using parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF) is an advanced analytical technique that offers several advantages in mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics. TIMS provides an additional dimension of separation to mass spectrometry and accurate collision cross-section (CCS) measurements for ions, aiding in the structural characterization of molecules. This is especially valuable in lipidomics for identifying and distinguishing isomeric or structurally similar compounds.

Untargeted analysis by LC-MS is a valuable tool for metabolic profiling (metabonomics/metabolomics), and applications of this technology have grown rapidly over the past decade. LC-MS offers advantages of speed, sensitivity, relative ease of sample preparation, and large dynamic range compared to other platforms in this role. However, like any analytical approach, there are still drawbacks and challenges that have to be overcome, some of which are being addressed by advances in both column chemistries and instrumentation.

Metabolomics data analysis includes, next to the preprocessing, several additional repetitive tasks that can however be heavily dataset dependent or experiment setup specific due to the vast heterogeneity in instrumentation, protocols, or also compounds/samples that are being measured. To address this, various toolboxes and software packages in Python or R have been and are being developed providing researchers and analysts with bioinformatic/chemoinformatic tools to create their own workflows tailored toward their specific needs. This chapter presents tools and example workflows for common tasks focusing on the functionality provided by R packages developed as part of the RforMassSpectrometry initiative.
