About this Research Topic
The field of general cardiovascular medicine is rapidly changing with new opportunities in the field of digital cardiology. Possibilities with regard to patient-physician communication have increased tremendously with eHealth, telemonitoring, advanced digital diagnostics, and mobile applications. In addition, new digital imaging technologies keep growing. However, there are important scientific challenges. Can patients and physicians deal with this? What is the adoption among the general cardiology care providers? Are the patient's clinical outcomes really improved by using these new solutions? Is computer modelling improving patient stratification and risk prediction in support of the decision-making of the healthcare professional?
With the current proliferation of novel technologies, attention must be paid to the relationship between the patient and the care provider. How can they communicate safely and effectively? How do patients remain adherent and involved? Additional technical and ethical challenges involve the use of artificial intelligence, which is rapidly entering the domain of the general cardiologist. We aim to select high-end manuscript with state-of-the-art reviews and original articles on digital cardiology.
Topics can include, but are not limited to:
1) Personalized digital approaches to cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment.
2) Digital patient-physician communication.
3) Telemedicine (digital diagnostics).
4) Remote monitoring
5) Digital imaging techniques
We are interested in the following article types: Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Review, Study Protocol and Systematic Review.
