Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remarkable progress in the field of coronary artery disease has been made in recent years, both in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease itself, and in its management, thanks to new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
However, this process is ongoing. We are seeing emerging concepts, new tools, and new drugs, allowing us to better comprehend and treat coronary artery disease.
In this Special Issue of Diagnostics entitled “Diagnosis and Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease: Moving toward the Future”, we wish to give authors the opportunity to develop these concepts in detail to present what the cardiology of tomorrow will be, in terms of CAD diagnosis and management.
We welcome original articles and reviews focusing on the following:
- The role of coronary CT as an adjunctive tool to diagnostic angiography for revascularization guidance;
- All new modalities in imaging and coronary physiology in the field of coronary artery disease, both epicardial and microvascular;
- Robotics-assisted PCI and robotics-assisted CABG surgery;
- New therapeutics in STEMI management in the cath lab;
- New mechanical supports for cardiogenic shock and high-risk PCI;
- Next steps in terms of chronic treatment, especially antiplatelet and lipid-lowering therapy;
- New insights in the field of cellular therapy;
- Projections in epidemiology for the coming decades.
Contributions may be related to these topics and should expand on the knowledge surrounding such topics.
