Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure remains a major global health challenge with increasing incidence and a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. This Special Issue will gather cutting-edge contributions spanning from diagnostics to therapeutic innovations. We invite manuscripts that delve into the applications and clinical impacts of advanced imaging techniques, such as strain echocardiography, quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiac PET, in the early assessment of myocardial dysfunction, risk stratification, and monitoring treatment response. We are particularly interested in articles exploring novel pharmacological treatments, including SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and other emerging therapies that are revolutionizing the prognosis of heart failure. We also wish to include research on non-pharmacological approaches, such as new device implantation strategies and cellular and gene therapies. Our aim is to create a comprehensive and stimulating resource that fosters research and improves the care of patients suffering from heart failure.
