Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Cardiovascular Ultrasound focuses on the application of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis, assessment, and prediction of cardiovascular diseases. Articles frequently utilize echocardiographic parameters, including myocardial work indices, left atrial strain, and right ventricular global longitudinal strain, to evaluate conditions such as aortic stenosis, atrial fibrillation, and sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy. The journal also covers the role of ultrasound in guiding procedures like left atrial appendage occlusion and in assessing adipose tissue related to cardiovascular risk.
