Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remarkable progress has been made in the cardiomyopathy field over the past few decades, revolutionizing every step, from diagnosis to treatment. For starters, knowledge of the genetic background has significantly spread, allowing for the prompt adoption of preventive strategies for family members of probands. Moreover, the incredible technological improvements have increased the diagnostic sensibility of various imaging modalities. In particular, multimodality imaging has proven to be of the utmost importance to detect early cardiac manifestations of cardiomyopathies, thanks to novel technologies like speckle tracking imaging in echocardiography and tissue characterization in cardiac magnetic resonance. Moreover, multimodality imaging is also essential to evaluate disease progression and, in some cases, assess treatment efficacy. In addition, bone myocardial scintigraphy may avoid endomyocardial biopsy in the diagnostic pathway of wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. Finally, targeted therapies for specific types of cardiomyopathies are now available, and more are expected to be developed and implemented in the years to come. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on clinical trends in cardiomyopathies in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.
