Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, there has been great progress in the field of both Rheumatology and Immunology that has improved symptoms and survival of patients suffering from these diseases. However, these patients still die earlier than the rest of the population, and cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of death.
Cardiovascular Imaging plays a leading role in both the diagnosis and treatment follow-up of cardiovascular involvement in these patients. Therefore, the “in-depth” knowledge of the contribution of each imaging modality is of paramount importance for the prevention, diagnosis, and follow-up of these patients.
In this context and taking into consideration that diminishing the cardiovascular mortality is the "Holy Grail" of our efforts, we invite you to submit your research, review, and cases in this issue of “Diagnostics”, dedicated to Cardiovascular Imaging in Rheumatology–Immunology. We strongly believe that your contribution will change the ominous prognosis of Cardiovascular disease in Rheumatology–Immunology.
We are looking forward to receiving your manuscripts.
Prof. Dr. Sophie Mavrogeni
Guest Editor
