Application of Echocardiography in Clinical Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Echocardiography is changing rapidly. Such changes include new methodologies of quantitative functional assessment of all chambers and valves, three-dimensional imaging and modeling, the coupling of ventricular–vascular assessments), artificial intelligence (AI) application (automation of measurements, reporting, and 3D modeling), and the new field of interventional echocardiography enabling complex transcatheter interventions. Access to echocardiography by AI-enhanced portable platforms, intended for non-echocardiographers, is also a major development that may improve patient care in the community.

The scope of this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine is to present these new methodologies in echocardiography and assess the changes and their influence on clinical care, in the whole range from the community clinic to the interventional cath laboratory. We invite authors to submit papers on these clinical advances in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.
