Description
Di Maio, Thamman, and Grapsa introduce a special collection on imaging in heart failure in a 2024 editorial. Imaging guides diagnosis, treatment choice, and prognosis across the disease's many forms. The collection's articles map each modality's role.
For weak-heart forms, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging measure chamber size and function, find scars, and steer device or valve decisions. For stiff-heart forms, the workup centers on diastolic function, with several modalities ruling causes in or out. Exercise testing matters when symptoms appear only with effort. Future markers from nuclear imaging may sharpen prognosis. The editors stress that no single test tells the whole story. Careful multimodality assessment is the theme.
