Cardiology and cardiovascular sciences are two rapidly growing areas in medicine, with heart diseases being the number one cause of death worldwide. The last four decades have witnessed many developments in various cardiological sciences, including coronary artery disease, valve disease, heart failure, congenital heart diseases, and cardiovascular imaging, with a number of newly developed concepts, such as cardio-oncology, cardio-renal diseases, and preventive cardiology. This Special Issue (SI) of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled “JCM-Advances in Cardiology”, focuses on recent advances in the cardiological sciences. It published 8 research articles of significant clinical and scientific value.

Heart failure prevalence continues to rise globally. Regardless of the underlying etiology, heart failure remains a progressive disease, largely irreversible and end-stage heart failure requires transplantation. Book focuses on the challenges and recent advances of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart failure with or without associated comorbidities. We hope that readers will appreciate the wide breadth of topics and clinical utility of the articles and reviews included to this book collection.

Medicine --- Cardiovascular medicine --- biomarkers --- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction --- preserved left ventricular ejection fraction --- reduced left ventricular ejection fraction --- heart failure --- NT-proBNP --- soluble ST2 --- galectin-3 --- matrix metalloproteinases --- tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases --- mortality --- ejection fraction --- cardiopulmonary exercise test --- ventilatory inefficiency --- angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor --- echocardiography --- HFrEF --- risk stratification --- left ventricle end-diastolic diameter --- E/e’ ratio --- left ventricle outflow tract velocity-time integral --- hospitalization predictor --- short-term prognosis --- heart failure readmission --- acute myocardial infarction --- blood biomarkers --- diagnosis --- congestion --- clinical assessment --- preserved ejection fraction --- type 2 diabetes mellitus --- myocardial infarction --- chronic heart failure --- heart rate variability --- 2D echocardiography --- 24-h ECG monitoring --- chronic kidney disease --- pulmonary hypertension --- arteriovenous fistulas --- overhydration --- heart transplant --- cardiac allograft vasculopathy --- heart transplant rejection --- transthoracic echocardiography --- longitudinal strain --- sensing parameters --- pacing parameters --- adverse left ventricular remodeling --- left ventricular-arterial coupling --- fatty liver --- cardiovascular disease --- fibrosis --- epicardial fat --- left atrial strain --- edema --- dilated cardiomyopathy --- fluid management --- endothelial dysfunction --- n/a --- angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor --- E/e' ratio
