Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aorta, as the largest and the most elastic artery in the body, plays a major role in cushioning the pulsatile flow originating from the heart to protect the left ventricle from deleterious remodeling but also the highly vascularized target organs such as brain and kidneys from microvascular damage. Beyond natural stiffening with aging, which can be aggravated by various cardiovascular risk factors such as highly prevalent hypertension, diabetes or obesity, the thoracic aorta is subjected to several inherited or acquired pathological conditions.
Cardiovascular imaging is widely used in diagnosis and follow-up of aortic diseases. However, such clinical management mainly relies on morphological assessment alone, despite advances in cardiovascular imaging towards the 3D characterization of aortic geometry, stiffness and circulating blood flow. Such cutting-edge image acquisition tools (CT, MRI and ultrasound) combined with advanced image processing, including artificial intelligence, offer a new arsenal of biomarkers for aortic deformation and inner hemodynamic forces that can be of utmost usefulness to progress towards personalized risk assessment and patient management in various aortic diseases.

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.
