Look for significant changes to Cardiology Today beginning with our July issue, which will have a redesigned front page and a streamlined approach to how we bring you news and perspective about the most recent research in cardiovascular medicine.
This redesign is a response to the changing demands of our readers, who have told us that they don’t have as much time to read long articles and, instead, need concise summaries of the top news in their specialty.
Along with shorter articles, our readers have said that they need expert perspective about what the news means to clinical practice.
Redesigned front page

Our redesigned front page will indicate our commitment to cover the top subspecialties in cardiovascular medicine.
Every month, the front cover will feature the top news in Vascular Medicine, Imaging, Heart Failure & Transplantation, Arrhythmia Disorders, and CHD & Prevention.
Practice Management and Quality Care will also have a prominent place on the front cover each month, with articles that highlight reimbursement issues and tips on managing a private practice, and with topics that focus on decision-making related to providing quality care.
We have reorganized and expanded our Editorial Board into these subspecialty areas with people who will be advising us about which meetings to attend and which sessions to cover. Many of these Editorial Board members will be giving us their perspective about the news each month.
Other changes to publication
In addition to dividing our publication into five subspecialty areas and Practice Management, Cardiology Today will also include:
- In the Journals: Within each subspecialty section, we will provide a brief summary article of the top research in cardiovascular subspecialty journals, and many will have perspective about why the research data are important.
- Meeting Highlights: Our reports on research presented at dozens of cardiovascular scientific meetings – and related specialty meetings – will be more concise, with perspective from experts not involved in the research.
- Cardiology Today scorecards: These very popular items will be easily identified by subspecialty area. The trial scorecards will continue to provide a quick overview of important details and data about clinical trials.
- Beyond Cardiology: Each month we will devote at least a page to news and journal articles from other cardiovascular-related specialty areas, the news you may not have time to read elsewhere.
- Behind the Name: These feature articles will give you the story behind medical eponyms.
- History of Medicine: Trading places every other month with Behind the Name, the History of Medicine feature articles will look at the odd, the little known, and the groundbreaking events in medical history.
- Devices of the Month: We will expand our monthly Device of the Month to include information about several new devices in subspecialty areas of cardiovascular care.
- Meet the Board: Each month a different Editorial Board member will answer our questions about their mentors and their background and will tell us why they chose cardiology and medicine as a career.
- Fellows’ Perspective: A cardiovascular fellow will continue to write a column each month about the challenges of practicing medicine.
Take a look at the redesign of Cardiology Today when your July issue arrives. We think you will find it easier to read, more succinct and more specific to subspecialty areas. I look forward to hearing your comments about these changes.
