Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Clinical Medicine invites submissions for a Special Issue focused on Pulmonary Embolism (PE), aiming to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and its practical application in clinical settings. PE remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating continuous advancements in our understanding, diagnosis, and management strategies.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight innovative research that directly impacts clinical practice, as well as practical insights that inform future research directions. We encourage submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following key themes:
- Risk Stratification and Prediction: Novel biomarkers, imaging techniques, and clinical decision rules for improved risk assessment in acute and chronic PE.
- Diagnostic Advances: The role of artificial intelligence, point-of-care testing, and advanced imaging modalities in the timely and accurate diagnosis of PE.
- Treatment Strategies: Updates on anticoagulation (including direct oral anticoagulants), thrombolysis, catheter-directed therapies, and surgical embolectomy, with a focus on personalized approaches.
- Long-Term Outcomes and Sequelae: Research on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), post-PE syndrome, and strategies for long-term management and rehabilitation.
- Special Populations: Considerations for PE in pregnancy, cancer patients, the elderly, and other high-risk groups.
- Implementation Science: Studies focusing on the effective translation of research findings into clinical practice guidelines and improved patient care pathways.
- Patient-Centered Care: Research exploring patient perspectives, shared decision-making, and strategies to enhance the patient experience in PE management.
- AI integration: Impacts on acute PE risk stratification, prediction models, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and meta-analyses that contribute to advancing the field of pulmonary embolism. By bringing together the latest research and practical clinical insights, this Special Issue aims to foster a more integrated and effective approach to the diagnosis and management of PE.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
