Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart disease is a general term that includes many types of heart problems. It is also known as cardiovascular disease (CVD), meaning heart and blood vessel disease. CVD includes coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack). Other CVDs include stroke, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, abnormal heart rhythms, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, carditis, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, thromboembolic disease, and venous thrombosis.
Chest pains, heart flutters and heart attack are the signposts of heart troubles. In the past, these symptoms might require treadmill stress tests or cardiac catheterization to diagnose the problem. This has changed with the advent of new imaging technology, including X-rays, ultrasound (echocardiograms), CT scans, MRI, 3-dimensional echocardiography (3-D echo), and PET/CT. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide relevant new information concerning the diagnosis of all heart diseases that is useful for daily practice and based on the most recent available data.
This Special Issue will thus offer an up-to-date view of the advances made in the imaging of heart diseases and seeks to collate articles, providing a comprehensive presentation of the current image-related novelties.
