Aims (old version):

Cardiovascular Medicine  (ISSN 1664-204X) is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal that is dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of cardiovascular medicine. The journal’s primary focus is on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, highlighting the collaborative approach of the interdisciplinary “heart team”.

It mainly publishes original articles, reviews, systematic reviews and case reports, but other article types will also be considered. Submissions should have a focus on clinical research in cardiovascular medicine. There are no restrictions on the maximum length of papers and research methodology must be provided in sufficient detail.

With its strong Swiss foundation and international reach, Cardiovascular Medicine aims to serve as an important platform for interdisciplinary exchange in cardiovascular care.
