Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Echocardiography has evolved dramatically over the past decades. Being the cornerstone of bedside cardiac imaging and diagnostics, echocardiography has emerged as the most-needed diagnostic tool in patients with cardiac diseases. With recent innovations, advanced echocardiography opens new horizons and introduces new clinical applications.
We are pleased to invite you to a Special Issue on innovations in advanced echocardiography, where several aspects of new and exciting applications of clinical echocardiography will be presented.
This Special Issue aims to introduce readers to advanced echocardiography techniques in the form of four review articles in the following fields:
- Ultrafast ultrasound in cardiology.
- Quantitative contrast-enhanced cardiac ultrasound for clinical applications.
- Development and validation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for echocardiography.
- Contemporary 3D echocardiography—from luxury to everyday clinical practice.
In addition, research articles, systematic reviews, and metanalyses in the field of advanced echocardiography will also be accepted as per the journal’s policy and guidelines, and we look forward to receiving your contributions.
