Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to a Special Issue of JCM, dedicated to “Clinical Advances in Structural Heart Diseases”.
Structural heart diseases (SHDs) cover a wide range of congenital and acquired cardiac abnormalities affecting the heart valves, chambers, and associated structures. With new technologies and collaborative efforts, we are witnessing a transformation in how we approach these conditions.
Ground-breaking advances in diagnostics and treatment options in SHD have already made changes in the prognosis and quality of life of thousands of patients. Nevertheless, the rapid pace of evolution and development of devices in transcatheter edge-to-edge valve repair, valve implantations in native and prosthetic positions, and endoscopic surgical interventions are maintained. Interventional echocardiography has become a completely new discipline to reflect the importance of new device applicability in real-life scenarios.
In this issue, we will gather articles addressing recent breakthroughs in diagnosis, treatments, and management strategies with a focus on a multidisciplinary approach. Our contributors, experts in the field, will share insights on the following:
- Cutting-edge imaging techniques;
- Advancements in minimally invasive procedures;
- Comprehensive care.
We hope this collection will serve as a practical resource for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals involved in SHD care. This issue will explore the latest innovations and strive for better outcomes in patient care.
