Heart Failure Reviews

Aims & Scope

Heart Failure Reviews is an international journal which develops links between basic scientists and clinical investigators, creating a unique, interdisciplinary dialogue focused on heart failure, its pathogenesis and treatment.

The journal accordingly publishes papers in both basic and clinical research fields.

Topics covered include clinical and surgical approaches to therapy, basic pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and electrophysiology.

The reviews are comprehensive, expanding the reader's knowledge base and awareness of current research and new findings in this rapidly growing field of cardiovascular medicine.

All reviews are thoroughly peer-reviewed before publication.
