Aims & Scope
Dialogues in Cardiovascular Medicine is a peer-reviewed, quarterly
journal for cardiologists and physicians with an interest in
cardiology. In order to promote in-depth understanding of the
current body of knowledge on a specific area of cardiovascular
medicine, each issue aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of
a single topic. The Lead Article explores each topic in concise
detail. Three pressing questions that dominate the field are
identified and given personal replies by undisputed authorities in
the Expert Answers section. The Summaries of Ten Seminal
Papers put the topic into historical perspective. The Fascinoma
Cardiologica section takes a thought-provoking and at times
unconventional approach to cardiology from a variety of vantage
points. Finally, a selected Bibliography of One Hundred Key
Papers is available for those readers who wish to undertake a
more exhaustive investigation of the topic.
Dialogues offers
unique coverage of the state of the art in clinical cardiology.
The journal is indexed in medical databases and is part of the
continuing medical education program of several major international
cardiological societies.
