Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery disease is a significant cause of global mortality that imposes a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems. Over last decades, relevant progress in the field of cardiovascular research has led to advancement in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. New imaging modalities (both invasive and non-invasive), innovative pharmacological agents, development in percutaneous coronary intervention strategies have been introduced, transforming the daily clinical practice.
However, important challenges remain, such as the early identification of high-risk patients, the management of residual risk, the treatment of complex patients and the integration of precision medicine approaches into daily clinical practice.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled “Current Trends and Future Challenges in Coronary Artery Disease” aims to provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the latest scientific and clinical trends in cardiological field, as well as to discuss the unresolved questions that will shape future research and practice.
We invite authors to submit original research, comprehensive reviews and meta-analyses.
Dr. Federica Agnello
Guest Editor
