Cardiology
A section of Journal of Clinical Medicine (ISSN 2077-0383).
Section Information
Cardiology encompasses a broad area of clinical medicine, as well as clinical, translational, and basic research, related to cardiovascular disease and stroke.
There has been rapid progress in our understanding of cardiovascular diseases, with advances in epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical studies, data science, artificial intelligence and health economics or modelling. Articles are welcome from a broad range of disciplines and approaches ranging from clinical medicine to basic science.
We encourage submissions from international contributors and researchers of all specialties that relate to cardiovascular disease and stroke. We strive to reach a wide audience by publishing original research, reviews, opinions, and articles on best practice and education in the field.
We welcome the submission of articles reporting original research and ideas to the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
