Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease entitled 10th Anniversary of JCDD—Modern Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies in Advanced Heart Failure and Heart Transplantation focuses on the recent advances in the field of Advanced Heart Failure and Heart Transplantation. During the last decades there have been an increasing number of patients with heart failure due to increased coronary heart disease-main cause of heart failure, but also in advances in diagnosis with the modern genetic, biochemical, echocardiographic and haemodynamic assessment. New diagnostic methods have contributed to the early diagnosis and risk stratification of heart failure with emphasis in advanced heart failure prognostic tools. Great interest has been emerging from the diagnostic challenges for Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction and exercise haemodynamics during Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing seems to play a significant role. On the other hand despite limited progress has been noted on Heart Failure medical therapy, there is growing evidence of the value of the short (ECMO, IMPELLA, TandemHeart) and long term mechanical assist devices (LVAD/BiVADs) as a bridge to heart transplantation, destination therapy, recovery or even organ donors. The necessity of increasing the organ donors has oriented clinicians towards donors after circulatory death (DCD) harvesting that has been increasing significantly during the last decade offering an alternative to the limited number of donors after brain death (DBD).
We are pleased to invite authors to submit original research articles, recommendation articles, and reviews covering all aspects of Advanced Heart Failure and Heart Transplantation, from diagnosis to clinical management and treatment.
In order to evaluate and organize the content of the Special Issue, please let us know the preliminary title of your paper, the type of paper that you plan to submit (research original article, review or case report) and any other additional information that would be useful. All manuscripts of original research that fit the scope of this Special Issue are welcome. For reviews, a direct co-operation between the authors and the Guest Editors would be useful to avoid thematic overlaps.
Participation in this Special Issue through the submission of a manuscript could be an excellent opportunity for primary researchers to enrich their CV, for doctoral or post-doctoral trainees to gain experience in writing reviews and for institutions to present their high quality original research in a high-quality journal.
