Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled “What We See Through Cardiac Imaging: Second Edition”. For more details on our first edition, in which we published 10 papers, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/W671RHP67F.
Whether for routine examination or following a cardiac event, there are several modalities to evaluate cardiomyopathies. Cardiac imaging has many possibilities by enabling the accurate identification of structural modifications and trends in measurements and dynamic alterations, which are key to ensuring that timely and lifesaving therapies are provided. Patients with cardiomyopathies sometimes live a long part of their lives facing problems such as life-threatening arrhythmias, progressive heart failure and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The resolution and diagnostic capabilities of each imaging technique vary to provide an option for each indication.
What to do and how to use different imaging modalities in different clinical scenarios in cardiomyopathies is of the utmost importance to ensure patients a good quality of life and prognosis.
“What We See Through Cardiac Imaging: Second Edition” welcomes original articles that highlight the role of the multimodality approach in providing a complete view of the patient’s cardiovascular system in every specific condition related to cardiomyopathy. The articles will cover the application of multimodality imaging both for diagnostic and prognostic purposes, including the specific indication for each modality to choose the correct workflow approach, and also combine clinical and genetic findings.
