Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In patients with diabetes mellitus, rapid progression of atherosclerosis can lead to spectrum of cardiovascular diseases including chronic and acute forms of coronary artery disease, as well as ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Over the last 5–10 years we have witnessed on one of the major advances in the field of cardiology regarding new treatment modalities in patients with heart failure. In fact, application of new glucose-lowering drugs—sodium/glucose-co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptuide-1 (GLP1) receptor agonists—has further promoted interest in the management of patients with diabetes, ischemic heart disease and heart failure. Determining the best molecular diagnostic, therapeutic and revascularization strategy with diabetes, ischemic heart disease and heart failure remains one of the most challenging issues in current cardiology treatment.
In this special issue, we shall discuss different aspects of ischemic cardiomyopathy with diabetes starting with pathophysiological mechanism for the progression of the disease to heart failure, followed by contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, up to revascularization options and strategy.
