This Research Topic aims to collect all case reports submitted to structural interventional cardiology section. All the case reports submitted to this collection will be assessed by a senior Associate Editor before beginning the peer review process. Please make sure your article adheres to the following guidelines before submitting. Case reports highlight unique cases of patients that present with an unexpected diagnosis, treatment outcome, or clinical course. Only case reports that are original and significantly advance the field will be considered: 1) RARE case with TYPICAL features 2) FREQUENT case with TYPICAL features 3) Cases with a convincing response to new treatments Case report format: • Maximum word count: 3000 words • Title: Case Report: "area of focus" • Abstract • Introduction: including what is unique about the case and medical literature references. • Case description: including de-identified patient information, relevant physical examination and other clinical findings, relevant past interventions, and their outcomes • A figure or table showcasing a timeline with relevant data from the episode of care • Diagnostic assessment, details on the therapeutic intervention, follow-up, and outcomes as specified in the CARE guidelines • Discussion: strengths and limitations of the approach to the case, discussion of the relevant medical literature (similar and contrasting cases), take-away lessons from the case • Patient perspectives

This Research Topic aims to collect all the Case Reports submitted to the General Cardiovascular Medicine section. All the Case Reports submitted to this collection will be personally assessed by the Specialty Chief Editor before the beginning of the peer-review process. Please make sure your article adheres to the following guidelines before submitting it. Case Reports highlight unique cases of patients that present with an unexpected diagnosis, treatment outcome, or clinical course. Only Case Reports that are original and significantly advance the field will be considered: 1) RARE case with TYPICAL features 2) FREQUENT case with ATYPICAL features 3) Cases with a convincing response to new treatments, i.e. single case of off-label use

We are now entering the third decade of the 21st century and, especially in the last few years, the achievements made by researchers have been exceptional. This rapid development has led to major advancements in the fast-growing field of intensive care cardiovascular medicine. Frontiers have organised a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of cardiovascular medicine. This Research Topic is led by Prof Fabio Guarracino, Specialty Chief Editor of intensive care cardiovascular medicine. Together with Dr Marija Vavlukis, this Research Topic will focus on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, the latest discoveries, and future perspectives.

We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine “Rising Stars” article collection. This collection showcases the high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. All Rising Star researchers were individually nominated by the Chief Editors of the Journal in recognition of their potential to influence the future directions in their respective fields. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of cardiovascular medicine, including the elucidation of fundamental biology, the development of novel diagnostics or therapeutics, computational modelling approaches, and bioengineering strategies for regeneration.
