Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Clinical Application of Echocardiography in Heart Disease: 2nd Edition”. This is a new volume; five papers were published in the first volume. For more details, please visit the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/2UW9468CO0.
The progress of echocardiography use in all areas of cardiology has been remarkable. Since its introduction in clinical practice in 1954 by I. Edler, there has been an increase in technological advances in transthoracic, transesophageal, and stress echocardiography. In recent years, echocardiography invaded the angiography and operating rooms, monitoring a myriad of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Its role in Intensive Care units and in the emergency departments has become outstanding, improving survival and the prognosis of our patients.
The absence of radiation also favors the use of echocardiography as the first-line diagnostic method in most cardiac pathologies.
In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers with a focus on the clinical applications of the various forms of echocardiography in heart disease.
Prof. Dr. Carlos Cotrim
