Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a fact that non-invasive cardiac imaging is constantly evolving and there is untold improvement in the field. Furthermore, it is true that among these instrumental methods, echocardiography certainly remains the cornerstone imaging technique for cardiologists. Echocardiography represents an essential tool in all clinical settings, both for diagnosis and for evaluating the response to therapy, thanks to the development of new and increasingly sophisticated applications that also increase its prognostic impact.
The journal Life (ISSN 2075-1729, https://0-www-mdpi-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/journal/life, IF = 3.251) is publishing a Special Issue entitled "Applications of Echocardiography: bench to bedside". I am serving as the Guest Editor.
Topics that will be welcomed in this Special Issue of Life include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Primary cardiovascular prevention;
- Acute chronic coronary syndrome;
- Acute and chronic heart failure;
- Acute and chronic pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension;
- Congenital heart disease in adults and children;
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning application;
- POCUS;
- Advanced tools (tissue Doppler, flow dynamics, contrast echocardiography, speckle tracking imaging, 3D echocardiography, etc.).
