Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiomyopathies are structural and functional heart muscle disorders that are not caused by coronary, valvular, hypertensive, or congenital heart disease. Inherited gene mutations often contribute to these conditions, suggesting that family members may also be at risk. This highlights that cardiomyopathies affect not just the individual but often entire families, and that family screening is needed to allow for early diagnosis and personalized treatment. Recent advancements in cardiovascular imaging, such as cardiac magnetic resonance, genetic testing, red flag research, and understanding the molecular basis of cardiomyopathies, have improved the identification and classification of these complex diseases. A novel cardiomyopathy phenotype, non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy, has emerged. The use of innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence, holds significant potential for improving patient outcomes. In addition, disease-modifying therapies are revolutionizing treatment approaches. New biomarkers are also helping to identify at-risk patients and tailor treatments.
This Special Issue, entitled “What’s New in Cardiomyopathies: Diagnosis, Treatment and Management”, aims to provide an updated overview of cardiomyopathies through original research and systematic reviews. We aim to collate experts from different disciplines in a multidisciplinary setting to share their knowledge, experience, and the extraordinary advances that are changing the diagnosis, treatment, and management of these intricate heart conditions.
