Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Precise Diagnosis and Therapeutic Guidance

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has become a cornerstone of contemporary cardiology, offering unparalleled insights into cardiac anatomy and function, tissue characterization, and blood flow—without the use of ionizing radiation. From ischemic heart disease to cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, and congenital heart disease, CMR enables precise diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning. Its ability to provide high-resolution images and tissue-specific information makes it a vital tool in both clinical and research settings.

Recent advances such as parametric mapping, strain imaging, and stress perfusion have further expanded the clinical applications of CMR. As the field continues to evolve, CMR will play a critical role in understanding complex cardiovascular conditions and guiding precision medicine.

In light of its growing importance, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue of JCM dedicated to CMR—“Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Precise Diagnosis and Therapeutic Guidance”. We invite researchers, clinicians, and imaging specialists to contribute original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value of CMR. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, advances in imaging techniques, clinical applications, AI integration in image analysis, and novel uses for CMR in rare cardiac conditions.

We look forward to your contributions that will enrich the field and inspire ongoing collaboration across disciplines.

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.
