Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to its wide availability, relatively low cost, non-invasive nature, rapidity of execution, and portability, echocardiography remains the pivotal imaging technique for the diagnosis and management of most cardiovascular diseases and is most commonly used as procedural guidance.
Over the last few decades, novel echocardiographic modalities, including contrast echocardiography, speckle tracking imaging, three-dimensional echocardiography, and intracardiac flow dynamics, have been developed with the aim of providing new insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases. This scenario of advances in echocardiography also includes automatic and semi-automatic artificial intelligence algorithms, which support the operator in optimizing image quality and taking measurements.
In this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, we welcome authors to submit papers on advances in echocardiography in terms of diagnosis, risk stratification, and the management of cardiovascular disease.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
