Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. In 2016, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 34.2% of all recorded deaths. Despite the progress in diagnostics and therapy, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and hypertensive heart disease are still significant causes of cardiovascular mortality.
Diagnostic imaging is currently the key diagnostic method for cardiovascular diseases. Echocardiography, Doppler ultrasonography and invasive coronary angiography have been the basis of diagnostic schemes of cardiovascular diseases for many years.
In recent years, we have observed a further increase in the clinical importance of subsequent imaging methods—cardiac computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance and CT or MR angiography. It is impossible to imagine modern medicine without the aforementioned diagnostic methods, and the perspective of the next few years will only strengthen this tendency.
We invite you to publish original research and review articles on the use and importance of cardiovascular imaging in research and clinical practice.
Dr. Paweł Gać
Guest Editor
