Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to underpin the role of cardiac imaging in different clinical scenarios, highlighting its role in patient management. Multimodality imaging is a new achievement that is especially valuable but not limited to certain cardiac pathologies, like aortic stenosis or cardiomyopathies. Nowadays, the appropriate use of cardiac imaging modalities is an essential tool for clinicians and requires special skills when selecting the most valuable and appropriate approach. Nevertheless, with the development of echocardiography and advanced modalities, like 3D echocardiography and myocardial deformation imaging by either echocardiography or MRI, becoming more and more available, diagnostic approaches in valvular diseases, cardiac function evaluation, and right heart evaluation have become more and more accurate. Moreover, echocardiography has become a necessary tool in structural interventional cardiology. Given the complexity of this topic and its everyday value in clinical practice, Medicina is launching a Special Issue entitled the “Role of Cardiovascular Imaging in Clinical Practice”.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, how-to articles, case reports, and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: clinical applications of echocardiography, including advanced techniques, clinical applications of POCUS, multimodality imaging in clinical practice, clinical applications of echocardiography in structural interventions, the monitoring of cardiac treatment using echocardiography, echocardiography included in multiparametric approaches, and cardio-oncology. .
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ioana Cristina Daha
