Aims and Scope
EMJ Interventional Cardiology is an open access, peer-reviewed ejournal committed to helping elevate the quality of practices in interventional cardiology globally by informing healthcare professionals on the latest research in the field.
The journal is published annually, six weeks after the European Association for Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EuroPCR) Event, and features highlights from this event, alongside interviews with experts in the field, reviews of abstracts presented at EuroPCR, as well as in-depth features on sessions from this event. The journal also covers advances within the clinical and pharmaceutical arenas by publishing sponsored content from congress symposia, which is of high educational value for healthcare professionals. This undergoes rigorous quality control checks by independent experts and the in-house editorial team.
EMJ Interventional Cardiology also publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and case reports in the field. In addition, the journal welcomes the submission of features and opinion pieces intended to create a discussion around key topics in the field and broaden readers’ professional interests. The journal is managed by a dedicated editorial team that adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, maintains high standards of copy editing, and ensures timely publication.
EMJ Interventional Cardiology endeavours to increase knowledge, stimulate discussion, and contribute to a better understanding of practices in the field. Our focus is on research that is relevant to all healthcare professionals in this area. We do not publish veterinary science papers or laboratory studies not linked to patient outcomes. We have a particular interest in topical studies that advance knowledge and inform of coming trends affecting clinical practice in interventional cardiology.
