The VAD Journal: The Journal of Mechanical Assisted Circulation and Heart Failure

Aims & Scope

The VAD Journal is a multidisciplinary, open access publication that focuses on mechanically assisted circulation and advanced heart failure. Our goal is to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas among professionals from various specialties working with ventricular assist devices (VADs) and other technology that improves the lives of patients with heart failure.

The journal aims to appeal to a multidisciplinary group of specialists, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, radiologists, and bioengineers, to effectively treat heart failure and ensure the successful use of mechanically assisted circulation devices.

The VAD Journal publishes a wide spectrum of clinically-focused research, including original research studies, case reports, images, techniques, and reviews. We use a double-blinded review system to ensure fair and unbiased reviews, and aim to publish all articles within 30 days of acceptance.
