About

Advances in multimodality cardiac imaging have revolutionized the noninvasive assessment of cardiac disease, offering comprehensive assessment of cardiac structure and function with mechanistic contributions to the underlying pathobiology of disease. Cardiomyopathies vary widely in phenotype and clinical expression, as well as genetic underpinnings versus acquired states. Noninvasive imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, and nuclear techniques including PET and SPECT imaging
allow for delineation of cardiomyopathy phenotype as well as allowing for earlier diagnosis, risk stratification, and guidance of therapeutic decisions in cardiomyopathic states.

Given the broad range of techniques available, variability in utilization, and a range of expertise, the focus of this research topic will be to review the clinical application of multimodality imaging techniques in
advancing early diagnosis and management of patients with cardiomyopathies. We will present several review articles discussing common cardiomyopathies specifically addressing the utility of multimodality imaging methods in early diagnosis, serial monitoring of therapeutic efficacy, and longitudinal follow-up in cardiomyopathies. We will also focus on the histopathology of each cardiomyopathic state and how imaging can unmask mechanistic underpinnings.

The types of manuscripts we are interested in are:
1) State-of-the-art review.
2) Clinical case review.
3) Original research.
