Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, advances in cardiovascular imaging have expanded our ability to characterize the myocardial abnormalities taking place over the course of different cardiomyopathies. Novel applications of echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and nuclear imaging have been tested, providing information that can potentially lead to early disease diagnosis and improved risk stratification. Furthermore, where new pharmacological treatments should be available, cardiac imaging might potentially be used to track the effects of these treatments on heart morphology and function.
The present Special Issue aims to provide a glimpse into the use of cardiac imaging within the broad field of cardiomyopathies. Studies using a multimodality imaging approach, as well as those investigating the prognostic relevance of cardiovascular imaging, are especially welcome.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in IJERPH.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
