Aims and Scope

Abstract

Structural Heart: The Journal of the Heart Team is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research. It is published by Taylor and Francis and owned by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. Structural Heart: The Journal of the Heart Team, is an official journal of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation focused upon diseases of the heart valves, myocardium, pericardium, and great vessels as well as congenital heart disease. Structural Heart publishes peer-reviewed clinical and experimental manuscripts on all aspects of these cardiovascular diseases. The Journal emphasizes the important role of the heart team in diagnosing and treating these disorders. Topics covered include diagnostic techniques, percutaneous interventional procedures, cardiovascular surgery, drug treatment, findings from the laboratory, and clinical trials. Symposia, clinical reviews and updates, editorial commentary, and letters are regular features, with occasional publication of opinion pieces and commentary. Structural Heart also publishes consensus documents and white papers with recommendations on current topics in cardiovascular disease. Structural heart disorders have become the most rapidly growing aspect of cardiovascular practice. The explosive growth of structural heart disease interventions, fueled by new, more accurate non-invasive diagnostic assessment and breakthrough interventional and surgical therapy, has generated abundant research data. Presentations on structural heart disorders now occupy a large segment of national cardiovascular meetings. These clinical advances benefit from team decision-making and collaboration among various professional disciplines involved in the care of these patients. There is a growing need for new types of information to be disseminated to all members of the heart team, and Structural Heart is committed to being the conduit for this novel and much-needed information.
