International Journal of Cardiovascular Interventions

Aims & Scope

This title has ceased (2016).

Acute Cardiac Care, formerly International Journal of Cardiovascular Interventions deals with the rapidly developing concepts in management of acute cardiac patients.

The journal will comprise four major sections that will thematically cover the different disciplines involved with respect to acute cardiac care: i) Cardiovascular interventions dealing with new devices, new drugs and ever improving therapeutic modalities; ii) Acute cardiac care reflecting the development of treatment of cardiac patients in an acute setting; iii) Myocardial dysfunction, gene and cell therapy dealing with ongoing activity in finding cellular and genetic solutions for myocardial pump failure; and iv) Acute cardiac care diagnostics, providing information on the development of diagnostic and prognostic stratifications by humoral and imaging tools.
