Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, significant progress has been made in cardiovascular imaging techniques, leading to improved diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The 2nd edition of this Special Issue, titled “The Future of Cardiac Imaging in the Diagnosis”, aims to explore innovative imaging modalities that are being used to assess cardiac structure and function, such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and nuclear imaging.
We welcome papers that present the latest research findings and clinical applications of these imaging techniques. This Special Issue explores the role of cardiovascular imaging in the early detection of cardiovascular diseases, risk stratification, and treatment evaluation; addresses the challenges and limitations faced by cardiovascular imaging; and proposes potential solutions. Moreover, it discusses the future prospects of cardiovascular imaging, including emerging technologies and novel imaging techniques. These advancements have the potential to revolutionize cardiovascular care by providing more accurate and detailed information about the heart and blood vessels.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide readers with an overview of the current progress in cardiovascular imaging, highlighting its significance in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, while also exploring the potential of future developments in this rapidly evolving field.
