Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac imaging is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by technological innovation, data science, and a growing emphasis on precision medicine. Advances in three-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial strain imaging allow for detailed, quantitative assessment of cardiac structure and function beyond traditional parameters. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning is enhancing image acquisition, interpretation, and risk prediction while enabling automated measurements and advanced quantification. In parallel, cardiac MRI and CT continue to evolve, providing comprehensive anatomical, functional, and tissue characterization insights. This Special Issue will highlight novel imaging techniques, computational approaches, and clinical applications that are reshaping cardiovascular diagnostics and personalized patient management. We invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that explore emerging technologies and their potential in cardiovascular medicine.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
