Clinical Echocardiography: Advances and Practice Updates

Dear Colleagues,

Echocardiography has long been recognized as a remarkably versatile and accurate technique that plays a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. New technologies are constantly being developed in terms of the diagnosis and treatment of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, diastolic dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, vascular disease, structural heart disease (including valvular heart disease), systemic disease, and cardiac tumors.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to cover the topic of the echocardiography and cardiology of cardiovascular disease, with a particular focus on new techniques and findings. Papers submitted to this Special Issue may include reviews and research manuscripts. We believe this Special Issue is also an opportunity for surgeons, cardiologists, sonographers, researchers, and trainees to showcase their expertise in the field. We look forward to your contributions.
