Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness that physical sports activity is essential to achieve a state of mental and physical well-being, to prevent major chronic diseases, and to counteract aging processes. In this scenario, cardiology plays a primary role, and its fields of application are many: cardiovascular assessment in the healthy patient or in the patient with chronic diseases; the effect of training on the cardiovascular system (consider the so-called athlete's heart); the prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac death related to physical exertion, etc. In addition, there are many points of contact with emerging fields of medicine such as genetics, epigenetics, gender medicine and, finally, artificial intelligence.
This Special Issue (SI) of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled “Exercise and Sports Cardiology”, focuses on the most clinically innovative advances and applications in imaging, interventional cardiology, rehabilitation, and basic research that address the complex relationship between cardiology and sports physical activity. The goal is to publish ground-breaking research articles of significant clinical and scientific value, including observational studies, clinical trials, and review articles. Unique clinical cases, particularly supported by advanced imaging, will also be welcome.
We anticipate that the success of exercise and sports cardiology will lead to the publication of other SI in different cardiology subspecialties.
Dr. Michela Casella
