Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure (HF) remains a major global health challenge, with increasing prevalence due to an aging population and improved survival of individuals with cardiovascular diseases. Despite significant advances, many aspects of HF diagnosis and management still present substantial challenges.
In terms of diagnosis, early detection remains elusive, and existing biomarkers and imaging techniques often fail to provide timely and accurate assessments of disease progression. There is an urgent need for novel diagnostic pathways that can enhance risk stratification, predict disease trajectory, and identify subclinical heart failure before irreversible damage occurs.
Therapeutically, while treatment options have expanded, heart failure management is still far from optimal. Despite the success of pharmacologic therapies and devices, many patients remain symptomatic, and clinical outcomes vary widely. New therapeutic strategies, including personalized medicine approaches, gene therapies, and novel drug classes, offer exciting possibilities but also pose significant challenges in terms of efficacy, safety, and accessibility.
We invite researchers in the field of cardiology to share their latest work exploring innovative diagnostic and therapeutic pathways in heart failure. Your research can help shape the future of heart failure care, improving patient outcomes and advancing our understanding of this complex disease.
Please submit your contributions; we look forward to your insights.

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 Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
