Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiomyopathies are defined as myocardial disorders in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular disease, and congenital heart disease sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality. Cardiomyopathies are classified as genetic and non-genetic according to the underlying etiology. In recent years, several advances in the diagnosis, management, and risk stratification for adverse events have been observed.
This Special Issue aims to identify the gaps in the diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathies based on a combination of original research and review papers.
Potential topics include:
- The epidemiology of cardiomyopathies;
- The role of genetics in diagnosis, risk stratification, and management;
- Diagnostic approaches, including multimodality imaging and novel techniques;
- Medical and surgical treatments;
- Specific aetiologies (e.g., Fabry disease, cardiac amyloidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis);
- Pediatric cardiomyopathies.
