Aims & Scope
The Journal of Vascular Medicine (JOVM) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal from Directive Publications dedicated to the science and clinical practice of vascular medicine. It publishes original research, systematic and narrative reviews, clinical trials, case reports and editorials spanning the full arterial, venous and lymphatic spectrum, connecting vascular physicians, angiologists, hematologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons and translational scientists worldwide.
Core topics include peripheral artery disease, critical limb ischemia, carotid and aortic disease, venous thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and chronic venous insufficiency. We also welcome work on vascular biology and endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, angiogenesis, thrombosis and hemostasis, anticoagulation management, vascular imaging, and endovascular and medical therapy.
Emerging and special-population themes are encouraged, including fibromuscular dysplasia, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, onco-vascular medicine and diabetic vascular disease, bridging bench mechanisms to bedside outcomes.
Every submission undergoes rigorous double-blind peer review. Accepted articles are published open access under a Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 licence with authors retaining copyright.
