Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the COVID-19 era, cardiac imaging is rapidly changing. The redundant, expensive, inappropriate use of imaging testing for diagnostic carpet bombing is losing ground. There is increasing awareness that the small individual waste of a single imaging examination multiplied by billions of tests each year becomes a significant cost for society, a health risk for the population, and an environmental burden for the planet. We need a more integrated approach to addressing patient vulnerability, which includes myocardial ischemia and viability but also many other phenotypes—from mitral regurgitation to pulmonary congestion and from autonomic unbalance to coronary microcirculatory damage. Research in cardiac imaging is oriented towards a more comprehensive assessment of patient vulnerability matched by progressive near-zero radiation and de-carbonization of testing with climate-neutral choices. More with less. More information but with less cost, less time, less risk, and less carbon dioxide production through building of a green cardiac imaging lab.

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.
