Advances in Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Treatment of Myocardial Infarction

Dear Colleagues,

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite significant progress in diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies. Advances in high-sensitivity cardiac biomarkers, multimodal imaging, and digital health technologies have enhanced early detection and risk stratification; however, important diagnostic and management challenges persist.

In particular, the recognition and treatment of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) and myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) highlight critical gaps in current classification systems and clinical pathways. These entities often present with atypical features, are frequently underdiagnosed, and require tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

The aim of this Special Issue is to critically examine the current research landscape and address unresolved issues in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of myocardial infarction, with special attention given to OMI and MINOCA. The scope includes novel biomarkers, advanced imaging techniques, continuous and remote monitoring, invasive and non-invasive diagnostic strategies, acute and long-term pharmacological and interventional therapies, and personalized secondary prevention.

For this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies. By fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, this Special Issue will promote innovation, inform clinical decision-making, and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with myocardial infarction.
