Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, driving the need for cutting-edge diagnostic tools to enhance early detection, risk stratification, and personalized treatment. This Special Issue, "Advances in Diagnostic Cardiology," explores the latest breakthroughs in non-invasive imaging, biomarker discovery, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted interpretation, and point-of-care technologies transforming cardiovascular care. From high-resolution cardiac CT and MRI to wearable ECG monitors, AI-powered echocardiography, advanced molecular tools and emerging biomarkers, these innovations are revolutionizing how clinicians assess heart function, predict outcomes, and tailor interventions.
We invite original research, reviews, and case studies highlighting novel diagnostic algorithms, cost-effective screening strategies, and challenges in real-world implementation. Topics include precision phenotyping of heart failure and cardiomyopathies, optimization of cardiovascular risk stratification, early diagnosis of coronary artery disease and detection of arrhythmic conditions. By bridging translational research and clinical practice, this Issue aims to empower physicians, researchers, and healthcare systems to harness diagnostic advancements for improved patient outcomes. We look forward to your contributions in shaping the future of evidence-based cardiac care.
Dr. Hélder Alexandre Correia Dores
