Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiomyopathies represent a diverse group of myocardial disorders that pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Recent advances in imaging technologies, molecular diagnostics, and pharmacological therapies are transforming the clinical landscape, offering new opportunities for precision medicine in this field.
This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and clinical perspectives that explore emerging tools and strategies to improve the care of patients with cardiomyopathy.
We are particularly interested in contributions addressing the following themes:
- Cardiac Imaging: The expanding role of advanced imaging modalities—including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, computed tomography and nucear imaging—in the early detection and accurate phenotyping of cardiomyopathies.
- Genetic Testing: The integration of genomic insights into clinical practice, including the role of next-generation sequencing and polygenic risk scores in refining diagnosis and guiding family screening.
- Novel Pharmacological Therapies: Innovations in drug development for specific cardiomyopathy subtypes, including myosin inhibitors, gene-targeted therapies, and disease-modifying agents that reflect a shift toward a mechanism-based treatment.
This Special Ossue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary approaches to diagnosing and treating cardiomyopathies, bridging the gap between research and clinical application.

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.
