Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading global cause of death and disability, responsible for 18 million deaths annually. Over the past decade, transformative advancements in cardiovascular diagnostics and risk stratification have enabled earlier detection, precise assessment, and tailored treatments, reducing the burden of CVDs worldwide.
This Special Issue explores key milestones in this progress. Innovations such as advanced cardiac MRI, CT angiography, and molecular imaging are revolutionizing cardiovascular visualization with unmatched precision. Breakthroughs in biomarker discovery, including genetic and metabolomic markers, offer unprecedented opportunities for early detection and prognosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are redefining the field by integrating vast datasets to reveal patterns and predictions beyond human capability. These technologies enhance diagnostic workflows, refine risk algorithms, and support proactive care through wearable devices and mobile health applications.
Looking ahead, interdisciplinary research and innovations, such as precision medicine, 3D printing, and big data analytics, are expected to redefine cardiovascular care. Equitable access to these advancements is essential to ensure their global impact. This Special Issue will discuss challenges and innovations shaping cardiovascular medicine.
