Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure (HF) has become of major concern to investigators, particularly those dealing with cardiovascular imaging. A multitude of studies have identified new modalities of assessment of cardiovascular function, either in patients with acute or chronic HF, in patients with reduced, mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and in those with left-sided vs. right-sided HF. Within this field of research, the new frontiers of cardiovascular ultrasound, including stress echo, strain imaging and combined cardiopulmonary exercise test and exercise stress echocardiography, of cardiac magnetic resonance and of nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging, are making substantial contributions to a more comprehensive evaluation of cardiac function and remodeling in HF patients and are useful in the clinical management and assessment of prognosis in patients with HF due to different etiologies.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to contribute to an upcoming Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine titled “Cardiovascular Multimodality Imaging in Heart Failure: Current Challenges and Future Directions” with original contributions and review articles. The deadline is December 15th 2021. We are looking forward to receiving your submission.
Best regards,
Dr. Frank Lloyd Dini
Dr. Verena Veulemans
Guest Editor
