Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major global health challenge, significantly contributing to morbidity and mortality. Recent advancements in prognostic stratification, diagnosis, and treatment of AMI have the potential to improve patient outcomes.
Accurate risk assessment, crucial for managing AMI patients, has been enhanced by biomarker research, including high-sensitivity cardiac troponins, enabling earlier and more precise stratification. Integrating clinical risk scores with these biomarkers and imaging techniques refines prognostic evaluations.
Diagnostic accuracy has significantly improved with high-sensitivity troponin assays and advanced imaging methods like coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Treatment strategies such as timely reperfusion therapy, antiplatelet therapy, and anticoagulant therapy, along with emerging pharmacological treatments, are essential in managing AMI cases. Intravascular imaging techniques, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), provide detailed insights into coronary lesions, facilitating personalized treatment. The integration of clinical data with advanced imaging and molecular techniques is advancing personalized medicine in AMI care.
We invite contributions to this Special Issue to share the latest research and insights on clinical advances in prognostic stratification, diagnosis, and treatment of AMI, aiming to enhance our understanding and management of this critical condition.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
