European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy

Why a new journal?

Pharmacology is an extremely important part of cardiology today. Nearly every patient with cardiac disease is on some kind of medication. Already there are almost half a million references to ‘cardiovascular pharmacology’ in MEDLINE and the number of papers within this area is growing very fast. More studies are needed to improve outcomes of patients with cardiovascular disease, which is the most common cause of death globally.

Mission Statement:

The official journal of the ESC Working Group on Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy and a brand new addition to the ESC Journal Family, EHJ - Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy aims to publish reports specifically describing clinical research relevant to cardiovascular drug therapy.
