Special Issue on Heart Failure

Heart failure is a medical condition characterized by the heart's inability to pump enough blood to meet the body's demands. It occurs when the heart muscles weaken or stiffen, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and fluid retention. Heart failure can be caused by various underlying conditions, such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, or valve disorders. Management and treatment strategies for heart failure involve lifestyle modifications, medications, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions like heart transplantation or use of mechanical assist devices.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on Heart Failure. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Cardiac imaging and diagnostics
• Cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias
• Cardiac remodeling and ventricular function
• Biomarkers and prognostic indicators
• Cardiac devices and mechanical circulatory support
• Cardiac rehabilitation
• Cardiac surgery and transplantation
• Comorbidities and their management
• Sudden cardiac death
• Exercise physiology and rehabilitation
• Drug therapy and pharmacology
• Heart failure prevention and risk factors

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Heart Failure” should be chosen during your submission.
