Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiomyopathies encompass a heterogeneous group of myocardial disorders with varied phenotypic expressions, ranging from asymptomatic subtle structural changes to life-threatening complications including sudden cardiac death, arrhythmias, and heart failure. Accurate characterization of these pathologies is critical for differential diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapy guidance. This Special Issue aims to highlight the pivotal role of advanced cardiovascular imaging in unraveling the complexity of cardiomyopathies. We welcome original research, state-of-the-art reviews, and perspectives that specifically address the following:
- Phenotypic diversity of cardiomyopathies: Insights into the genetic, morphological, and functional spectrum of cardiomyopathies, including hypertrophic, dilated, non-dilated left ventricular, arrhythmogenic right ventricular, and restrictive phenotypes.
- Multimodality approach: Contributions demonstrating the complementary roles of echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and nuclear imaging in diagnosis and disease staging.
- Therapeutic implications: Studies showcasing how imaging informs personalized treatment strategies, from pharmacological tailored interventions to device therapy, and enables precise monitoring of treatment response.
This Special Issue seeks to bridge gaps between clinical imaging, pathophysiological understanding, and emerging therapeutics in cardiomyopathy care. Submissions from multidisciplinary teams and collaborative networks are especially encouraged. We look forward to your contributions to this timely and impactful Issue.
Dr. Luca Arcari
Guest Editor
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.
