Collection description
Advanced imaging tools provide detailed information about the structure and function of the heart and the cardiovascular system, essential in both the diagnostic process and patients’ management. Early diagnosis of cardiac modifications and arterial disease together with the identification of subclinical organ damage has become crucial for a timely and adequate treatment, aiming at not only the avoidance of irreparable organ damage but also trying to confine injury progression 1. Beyond standard echo-Doppler echocardiography, which remains among the most simple but accurate methods for the investigation of cardiac and vascular remodelling and systolic and diastolic dysfunction, advanced imaging techniques are emerging for their sensitive capability of recognizing early myocardial and vascular impairment in many cardiovascular diseases 1, 2. Those imaging methods, including speckle tracking and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), can help, in different ways, in the detection of subclinical disease and/or in the identification of cardiovascular changes. Those techniques are able to ameliorate diagnostic accuracy and provide markers to further improve risk prediction and optimize patient care. In addition, imaging tools are easily appliable into both clinical and research practice thanks to novel approaches and software advancements which sensibly reduce the time for analyses.
