Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
[*] Background and history of this topic: Heart diseases represent one of the main problems facing contemporary healthcare system all over the world. Although we are seeing better treatment results for a broad spectrum of pathologies, such as coronary heart disease (CHD), the mortality and morbidity are still very high, and heart failure is a major problem of our time, with a worse prognosis than most types of cancer. Innovative solutions to this problem incorporate the development of not only pharmacological but also interventional treatment methods. In the last 30 years, incredible progress has been achieved in interventional cardiology, and we are still developing new technologies.
[*] Aim and scope of the Special Issue: We will publish articles giving an overview of the latest technologies and new procedural techniques in coronary and structural heart interventions. We will focus on the development of new interventional directions in heart failure, as well as electrotherapy. Another key topic will concern right- and left-ventricle support and left-ventricle assist devices.
[*] Cutting-edge research: We will explore novel technologies, new procedural and interventional techniques, and possible future directions and challenges for developing interventional methods of heart disease treatment.
[*] What kind of papers we are soliciting: Clinical studies, and comprehensive literature reviews discussing development directions for future interventional treatment methods.
