Echocardiography in Cardiovascular Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Echocardiography plays a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Novel techniques have continued to develop for diagnosis and management in the fields of ischemic, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, diastolic dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, vascular disease, structure heart disease including valvular heart disease, systemic disease, and cardio-oncology. Echocardiography with deformation imaging, 3-dimentional imaging, stress echocardiography, and artificial intelligence enable comprehensive analysis of data, and we can clarify the new knowledge of these diseases and treatment strategies.

The aim of this Special Issue is to cover topics on echocardiography in cardiovascular disease, in particular focusing on novel techniques and findings. The submissions presented in this Special Issue will include review articles, research manuscripts, short contributions, and case reports. This may be also an opportunity for surgeons, cardiologists, sonographers, fellows, and trainees to contribute to showcase their area of expertise.
