Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The natural history of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been dramatically revolutionized by the introduction of coronary angioplasty at the end of the last century. This has led to a significant reduction of in-hospital mortality for these patients. On the other hand, the percentage of subjects with chronic heart failure (HF) has increased and despite the significant improvement in HF therapy, the rate of new events in the follow-up remains high. There are still many grey zones in this field that deserve to be explored in depth, both from the diagnostic and the therapeutic point of view. The most appropriate management of AMI type 2, the mechanical supports to be preferred in patients with cardiogenic shock, and the way in which to implement rehabilitation programs in the post-acute phase of AMI are just a few examples. Moreover, timely access to care and patient compliance remain critical challenges worldwide.
For these reasons, in this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of state-of-the-heart reviews and/or original articles that focus on this topic of current interest.
Dr. Francesca Giordana
Guest Editor
