Canine and Feline Cardiomyopathies—Current and Future Strategies for Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on canine and feline cardiomyopathies. Immense progress has shaped the way that canine and feline cardiomyopathies are understood, diagnosed, and treated. Entirely new classes of drug compounds, unique genetic origins of naturally occurring disease, and advanced imaging techniques have resulted in immense preclinical and clinical progress throughout the last decade. Original research and review manuscripts on topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of canine and/or feline cardiomyopathies and disease outcomes will be considered for publication. Work including but not limited to genetic discoveries, diagnostic strategies, and novel therapies will make up the key articles of this important collection. This Special Issue will represent a collection of up-to-date resources documenting the standard-of-care in diagnosis and therapy, as well as novel advances in the understanding of pathophysiology, diagnostic strategies, and future therapies. 

Prof. Dr. Joshua A. Stern
