Improving Diagnosis and Treatment in Heart Failure and Myocarditis

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to propose a Topic on new insights and recent advancements in the clinical and diagnostic measures utilized in the field of heart failure (HF) and myocarditis. There is no doubt that the clinical practice of today uses a wide variety of sophisticated and expensive diagnostic evaluations. Nevertheless, given the limited health budget in many counties, improved utilization of well-established and cheap tests to evaluate complex medical illness is of utmost importance. In this Topic, we aim to focus on novelty and new insight in heart failure and myocarditis, both from cutting-edge technology and from currently used relatively simple diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Furthermore, we encourage publications regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various aspects of HF and myocarditis incidence and potential virtual monitoring and treatments.
