New Insights into Ischemic Heart Disease: Diagnosis, Risk Assessment, Prevention and Treatment Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Myocardial ischemia is the fundamental substrate of acute and chronic coronary syndromes. Early diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in the complex comorbidities is a challenge for the clinician. Atypical symptoms and unclear paraclinical data from ECG, biomarkers, stress test, invasive and non-invasive imaging procedures are not easy to establish a correct diagnosis. In addition, the high incidence and severe prognosis of IHD highlight the need for novel research in the field to optimize diagnosis and treatment to improve the clinical outcomes. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we aim to form a team of specialists whose advanced experience in IHD, from not only in the complex mechanisms of the relationship between myocardial ischemia and various pathologies, to real world data. Therefore, we invite you to share your experience and researches thus help to identify the best diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for IHD population.
