Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases
Advances scholarship across the full spectrum of cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, from molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis to evidence that shapes bedside practice. JOCD welcomes original research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, clinical case reports, and editorials spanning heart failure, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and electrophysiology, interventional and surgical cardiology, preventive cardiology, lipid disorders, and cardiac rehabilitation. We encourage translational work connecting biomechanics, imaging, pharmacotherapy, and exercise therapy to measurable patient outcomes. Every submission undergoes rigorous double-blind peer review.
