Its recognition, differential diagnosis, and the monitoring of therapy are intimately coupled with cardiac imaging. Cardiac imaging has witnessed an explosive growth and differentiation, with echocardiography continuing as the first diagnostic step; the echocardiographic exam itself has become considerably more complex than in the last century, with the assessment of diastolic left ventricular function and strain imaging contributing important information, especially in heart failure. Very often, however, echocardiography can only describe the fact of functional impairment and morphologic remodeling, whereas further clarification of the underlying disease, such as cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, storage diseases, sarcoidosis, and others, remains elusive. Here, cardiovascular magnetic resonance and perfusion imaging should be used judiciously to arrive as often as possible at a clear diagnosis which ideally enables specific therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11206201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]],"date-time":"2022-10-20T22:49:46Z","timestamp":1666306186000},"page":"6201","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Role of Novel Cardiac Imaging for Contemporary Management of Heart Failure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7401-278X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank A.","family":"Flachskampf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences, Cardiology and Clinical Physiology, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala University, 751 85 Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Baron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Sciences, Cardiology and Clinical Physiology, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala University, 751 85 Uppsala, Sweden"},{"name":"Uppsala Clinical Research Center, Uppsala University, 752 36 Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e051997","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2021-051997","article-title":"Disparities in prevalence of heart failure according to age, multimorbidity level and socioeconomic status in southern Sweden: A cross-sectional study","volume":"12","author":"Scholten","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3599","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehab368","article-title":"2021 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure","volume":"42","author":"McDonagh","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur.
